I've Got Visa to Go to Russia

To facilitate visa-free transit for travel to other cities in the province, the airport has launched 17 long-distance coach routes. And it has also offered car rental services.However, the visa policies still need improvements and more overseas promotion.Marco Rimondi, a 49-year-old Italian businessman who frequently flies to China on business trips, hopes that the authorities will extend the length of visa-free stay."Taking into consideration the jet leg, 72 hours doesn't seem to be a long period for me to tour a city," said Rimondi.

Zhao Guihong, professor from the School of Economics and Management at Civil Aviation University of China, advised local governments to connect the airports in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, allowing visa-free transit passengers in Beijing to leave through the airport in Shanghai or Guangzhou within the 72 hours. The House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs has proposed a review of the country's immigration laws as well as its bilateral agreements with the United Kingdom.This came on the heels of  the decision by  the UK government to impose a ￡3,000 Visa Bond on Nigerians travelling to that country.However, the United States Embassy in Abuja, has introduced drop boxes for visa renewals for applicants to reduce wait times and eliminate the need to appear in person for renewals.

The visa bond  is part of measures by the UK to tighten its immigration laws to  discourage  migrants from certain countries moving into  the UK to live and work.The Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Hon. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, described the policy as discriminatory given the fact that it was targeted at Nigeria and other non-white Commonwealth countries.The other'monwealth countries targeted  are India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.Available  data shows that  the citizens of these countries applied for more than half a million visas to Britain in 2012 alone.
