Do You Need a Visa?

Vagablogging's Rolf Potts had a good piece last week on how to determine whether you need a visa. He shares his experience using a couple of websites that provide info on visa requirements and on consulate locations.

Another important decision is whether to apply for the visa by going to a consulate yourself or having a travel agent do it for you. I've mostly handled visas on my own, without any major problems. But I've heard embassies in certain countries can have long queues. In that case, sending an agent to do it for you can be more convenient, but usually more expensive.

The Vagablogging article gives readers some valuable resources.
