As you grow your ventures or your professional (9-5) journey. You will have reasons to travel both for business & sometimes leisure. If you carry a passport that won’t allow you to just purchase flight ticket & get going (ie you need to apply for visas) I have some tips for you.
Be super truthful when applying for visas. Never apply with fake documents. Don’t overstay your visa, behave well in other people’s country. One dent on your travel document can mess up your entire history. Ever heard of FIVE EYES Countries? Let me share...
The Five Eyes (FVEY) is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are parties to the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence.(This is public knowledge)
Better to be refused visa telling the truth from any of these 5 than to be caught lying or submitting fake documents be deported or removed from any of the 5. If you ever find yourself in that situation. That’s it. They share key data. If you can lie to one, you can lie to all.
Every visa you get from this 5 is incremental to your next visa from any of them. There are chances your visa overstay data will be shared as well. If you can over stay your visa in one of the 5, you repeat it with the others. I’m sure you know what that means.
Some people wonder why after being refused visa by the US (for submitting fake documents), overstaying their US visas or after being deported from the UK, Canada is denying them visa. Well, read more about The 5 Eyes.
Once one of the five flags you. That’s it. Sometimes it’s not village people.
