    One of the biggest challenges of visiting every country in the world is GETTING VISAS.
    Yes, even as a U.S. passport holder (one of the strongest in the world), I'm still spening countless hours, days, weeks, and months of my life figuring out how to get approval to visit dozens of countries.
    In today's video, find out which are the 5 hardest visas I've had to get around the world (watch until the end to find out which one cost me $3,000 USD!!!)
    Which visas have you found to be the hardest to get? Every passport has different requirements for every country (and they often change), so I'd love to hear some of your struggles!

    As a Nepali citizen, the most difficult and expensive visa was to the Netherlands. I needed visa to defend my PhD after four years of working at a Dutch university. I was in Mexico, my options were either to go to Delhi or US (I had valid US residency). Took me three weeks and more than 2500 Euros with all the flights and expenses (I crashed with family in the US). My application was 70 pages long and it was a rather stressful and humiliating process. Never again. Luckily, the PhD project paid for this, which I am thankful for. If a Dutch person wants to come to Nepal, they get visa on arrival for less than 50 Euros. Let’s talk inequalities!

      @@vishaln9419 Sorry, but I have to disagree with what you said. It is absolutely not easy to become a US citizen if you are from a developed country. I'm from the UK and it took many years for me and was difficult every step of the way. Also, the steps I had to take were exactly the same as for someone from any other country in the world. The US citizenship rules are such that it makes no difference whether you are from the UK or anywhere else. You either qualify or you don't and your previous citizenship is irrelevant. I think you were confusing getting citizenship with getting a tourist visa; in that case, it's much easier if you are from a developed country.

    As a Sri Lankan, I’ve been to 29 countries and the hardest one to get was Mongolian. Even though I was living in Russia I had to go to Moscow 5 times ( it was 500+ km from where I live ) because they were asking for an invitation letter with the foreign minister’s approval stamp. I had to contact a travel agent and convinced him to go to the foreign ministry by himself to get the stamp on the invitation letter. The first time we didn’t know, the second time it was closed third time approved but without the seal etc. so I had to travel frequently from Moscow to Kursk to get updates because they never answered my phone calls nor emails. Cost me so much but finally got it and went to Ulaanbaatar via trans-Siberian train! Yeah, it was amazing ♥️

      He said in another video that he went to North Korea before the travel ban. I think he only had to book a tour, but I could be wrong about that. There is another girl that has traveled to every country in the world, and she went after the travel ban. Her channel is called Lexie Limitless. North Korea is probably the hardest country now that the travel ban exists.

When police come to arrest him at his home, he simply outsmarts them by running into any room that is on the other side of border. He tells Garda that he can't be arrested on Northern Irish soil. When police from North Ireland arrives at his home, he'd be in another room on Republican Irish soil.
