right now so fucking sad - my best mate, he's ecuadorian but has a so called ''B-ID'', meaning that he officially has the permition for living and working in switzerland.
we booked the flight to uk - leaving today.

now he just found out that he needs a visa for UK.

anyone knows a solution for this mindfuckery?
sooo sad as he rarely can afford getting out of town and this being a big dream of his ((( this trip just got darker.

this so fucked mate - im on the UK Border Agency website trying to find some info, I will try to call them too but these kind of agencies have so many calls daily they are hard to get through to...I have no experience of this kind of shit, so hopefully someone else here might be able to help..

what was your mate thinking?
didn't the thought ever cross his mind that he might need a visa?

hard lesson learned unfortunately

a visa for a few days in the UK? huh?

no chance - just called litterally everyone. even a friend of mine whos parent's are ambassadors

shit boy if this was Cambodia you'd pay em $20 and fly threw...

why cant every country be that free-thinking and liberal...

nah seriously i feel for the guy man, thats not cool at all, would love to hear that you get something sorted

sad fucking day.

@jugo: he travelled to poland and germany before without problems because they are schengen area. but UK isn't.
and switzerland isn't in the EU.

ffs.

Can't you get a visa on arrival? Maybe worth giving the british embassy in switzerland a call?

thank you my friend - but i think it's over...

well - one person less at yours to say at least one ''positive'' thing

now i need to cut a dubplate with a collab with my ecuadorian friend...

any idea if i can get it cut quickly at transition before saturday?

just spoke to them, you can probably book an appointment for Friday if u want?

i'm sorry for your mate and you, but if you're not european, or from white, the uk's one of the hardest countries to get into. this is the problem the majority of the people on the planet have to put up with unfortunately.

plus the bureaucracy and attitude of the fuckers in the embassies outside europe does my head in.
anyone with a power trip seems to get a job in an embassy it would seem.

i've got mates in ukraine who've been trying to visit the uk as tourists for years now. they have money, jobs, and family, but still the embassy thinks up some reason to refuse a visa.

the 'war on terror', and the economic crisis have all made it even more difficult.

murky: at transition? yeah! would love to

this is so sad in imho it's a burocratic racism

ok you want me to book you a time? Friday around 12 would probably give you plenty of time to get there/ get to your gig in the evening.... are you aware of the costs etc?

we should start a war on terror... bull immigration and visa laws.
