[QUOTE="Hambone61, post: 1474088, member: 620717"] It is almost certain that no one ever thought about visas to Shengen countries in Europe for Kofi (Jamaica) or Andre (Dominican Republic) before they tried to get on the plane in Miami. This is royal "f----up", and it is difficult to understand why no one thought of the visa problem in advance. Nevertheless. as a traveler who has resided in Europe for 40 years, I would like to know if someone really made every effort to get them to Europe after the plane left. While there is normally a waiting period for a Shengen visa, exceptions are not ruled out. First you select a well situated small country that has a very high visa acceptance rate (Luxembourg rarely rejects an application). Second, you book a changeable flight (Tuesday overnight) to and a hotel in Luxembourg for ( Wednesday ). Third, you make an appointment at the Washington DC Embassy for as late as possible on Monday, where they can bring completed Shengen visa application forms (downloaded) and passport photos. Third, you pick up the visas on the next day (with some help from the Embassy staff). The purpose will be tourism in Europe (which is the case since they are at best able to play in only two games). While Italy will be the principle place of visit, Luxembourg will be the "port of entry" and therefore can well issue the visa. They get their visas stamped on entry in Luxembourg , and even if exhausted, they can go on the city tour, eat a few good meals, go early to bed in Luxembourg and fly to Florence on Thursday morning. Once you are in a Shengen country and fly to another, there is no passport or visa control and, if they have valid passports and visas for the USA, they can return to Champagne with the rest of the team.
