Broadly speaking, citizens of developed countries are unaware of the hurdle visas really are. I had a friend complain pretty vehemently because their Ukrainian partner had to get a visa to go to a country. I then had to explain that for most of the rest of the world going to most countries requires a visa, and that my passport at that moment was at an embassy for a visa application. I also had to point out that it is in fact possible that your visa might get rejected so then all you've booked for your trip is potentially wasted.
