    The visa, which will cost about $8, is similar to the one that European tourists are required to get when traveling to the U.S., which costs $21.

    That’s quite the difference.

      It’s the same, but in the US you have to add the sales tax ($2) and then tip at least 110%. That brings the total to $21.

          And I’m leaving the chat. I don’t have health insurance and the name “hospital” scares me.

              This is the saddest fucking thing in the world. Why? Why does our government hate us this much? And we are we just a bunch of fucking pussies that we accept their beating all the time?

                It’s a ridiculously sad reality that life saving and life preserving healthcare here is a “luxury” that can crush people’s future security.

        I think a lot things are actually cheaper here than in many European countries. Including paychecks.

      Not the price of the visa, but the visa itself is similar to the ones that Europeans have had to get for a long time.
