I really didn't know that local life can be much cheaper in these exotic locations.
Oh, for us Romanians even entering Mexico is extremely difficult, there were many cases in which Romanian tourists were not allowed to enter Mexico, even though they had already paid vacations there.
I live with the hope that the visit to New York will be as close as possible, and here I also mean obtaining the visa for Romanians.
Only the visa for America costs $160/person, I say a rather high fee, moreover, I have to go 600 kilometers for the interview to obtain the visa.
Even if I pay the fee and go to the interview, it is still not certain that I will get the visa, you see, a very high cost for something that you do not know for sure that you will get.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I´m sorry mate, I didn´t realize that you guys in Romania have such troubles with getting visas :( I have never experienced anything like that. I hope that Romanian passports will be more powerful in future, you guys deserve to travel without stress and complications. Have a lovely Sunday!

Unfortunately, Romania is not yet part of the Schengen area in order to be able to move freely not only in the community area (EU), as I wrote to you, it is an ordeal to obtain a visa and a good amount of money spent.
At one point it was rumored that we would enter the Schengen space only in the air space and not on the ground, but honestly I no longer trust our political class that seems to be fighting against the Romanians.

Hope dies last, but the dream still remains :)

A beautiful Sunday to you too!

Man, that really sucks :( Our countries are not so far from each other, our cultures and history are similar too but when it comes to traveling, the difference seems to be really big. I don´t count it but I have probably been to 30+ countries so far and didn´t have any issues entering any of them. Are the officers basically expecting you to bribe them to give you the visas? Is it how it works in your country?

You are right, even if we are not very far apart, our countries are similar in many ways, but when it comes to certain facilities, it seems that there are certain barriers.
In terms of obtaining a visa, there can be no question of bribing someone.
It's just that the USA is very careful with Romanian citizens who want to visit America or study there or even find a job.
From what I found out from my friends who went to the interview to get the visa, they were checked including what money they have in their accounts and dozens of stupid questions, so that in the end it will be in the hand of the respective officer.
I met the case where the husband and wife applied for the visa and only the husband received the visa, the wife did not.
Honestly everything is very strange in this verification process.
