Some better material got lost in the shuffle while merging the two original sections
editThanks to user:Bogger for creating this page by copying the material formerly at Border_control and at Travel_visa. While there was some duplication between the two versions, I think that we should try to merge to two, rather than simply deleting most of what was imported from Travel Visa, as in some cases the description at Travel_visa was the better version.

- thanks. I've stepped away from this one. I think Travel visa could do with more splits but I don't know to where.Bogger (talk) 01:04, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Difficulty Adding Reference (Handyvisas.com) to Article
editHello dear Wikipedia editors,
I hope this post finds you well. I recently tried to contribute to the article on electronic visas and electronic travel permits (eVisa and eTA), especially in the section regarding their differences. I intend to add a reference from "Handyvisas.com" to support the information I have provided. However, I ran into an issue that prevented me from doing that, and I'd like to discuss this with the community.
The reason I can't add a reference is because the domain "Handyvisas.com" appears to be blocked by Wikipedia's content filter. This situation puts me in a bit of a quandary, as I truly believe that the source adds value to the article by providing additional context and credibility to the information presented.
I want to maintain the highest standards of accuracy and verifiability in Wikipedia articles, which is why I have tried to include this reference. Unfortunately, the technical limitations I encountered prevented me from doing so. I wrote this article to ask the community for advice on how to handle this situation. Is there a recommended course of action to check and include such references when a domain is blocked? I remain committed to actively contributing to Wikipedia and appreciate any help or advice you can give to resolve this issue. Thank you for your understanding and support.

- Please take a look at this and this discussion. You may request a removal on this page. NM 06:30, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Alejitao123: Please avoid using visa or other travel agency websites as references on Wikipedia as their main goal is to divert travellers away from official government channels of obtaining visas, where they are likely to overcharge you for the same services you could have gotten directly from the relevant embassy or government website; in contravention of Wikipedia's policies on advertising and external link spam. It's also impossible to know if computer malware is present, the website is fraudulent or whether or not your passport, credit card and/or other personal details will be in safe hands if you decide to hand them over to an online third party visa agency.
- In short, please try to reference official government sources, IATA's Timatic, reputable news outlets/news articles, etc. Fork99 (talk) 07:07, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
