Don't compare the process of going online and filling out a form to applying to an actual visa in a consulate
- jacknews 3y agoWhy not, plenty of countries offer online visa applications. This ESTA, sorry ETIAS thing is simply a visa with another name, albeit maybe a 'visa-lite'.

- dzhiurgis 3y agoAll my visas in NZ had to be done via post which was somehow superior experience to using Lithuanian e-government (which are basically extremely hard to access web forms designed pre-mobile era which just lands and some clarks email inbox who will then say "yeah nah you still need to come visit us in the office")
- tommiegannert 3y agoMost importantly: paying an exorbitant fee for adding a row to a database. $21 for the chance of filling out the ESTA with the exact same data I used the last time.
