[波羅的海三小國]----簽證討論區

墨染纖塵
我們預定暑假去波羅的海一遊,請問有沒有人辦過愛沙尼亞的簽證,問了很多旅行社都沒有代辦,而台灣又無辦事處.
若有人去過的話,想請問一下是如何拿到簽證的?
非常急!!
感謝!感謝! :-#

唉 ~~
to midismilex:
我是要去觀光的..
那一段文字是使館給我的資料啊
就真的只有這樣的文字,所以我也搞不清楚到底要準備啥東西一起附上去阿
對了..
這是立陶宛日本使館給我的訊息
是我問他: 找日本的朋友去幫我辦可以嗎
他就這樣回我了
要我準備 a letter of proxy..........................
我也是粉傷腦筋才來問問大家啊
:(

馬機老師的訊息我也看了
我的問題應該是要在台灣辦好,非進歐盟國
簡單說是我不想辦申根
想試著在台灣搞好三國的簽證
我試著跟三國的日本跟中國的使館聯繫過了
1.立陶宛需要但可朋友代辦,但需要 a letter of proxy(我現在搞不清的文件)
2.愛沙尼亞需要本人去辦,但可朋友代辦
3. 拉推為亞需要邀請函,朋友代辦部分我還在等回答,尚不知可否

如果不從歐洲進baltic三小國, 你要打算怎麼飛?
我之前打電話問過台北駐拉脫維亞辦事處的盧秘書
他說如果想在台灣辦, 那大概要花上六七千塊請人代辦
到他國辦簽證也不是一天兩天就可以下來
最簡單的方法還是進申根國
像是KLM有台北經阿姆斯特丹到拉脫維亞的Riga班機
只要在荷蘭停留個兩三天(週末不算)
一定可以馬上辦好
其他兩國的也可以請盧秘書他們幫你忙
整個Baltic三小國的簽證問題都是由台北駐拉脫維亞辦事處負責的

另一個消息是, 要不要等明年再去?
拉脫維亞等國明年會加入申根國
到時只要辦好申根簽證就可以直接飛去了.

2006年12月5日,歐盟各國主管內政和司法事務的部長級官員在布魯塞爾開會決定2007年12月31日起吸收於2004年5月加入歐盟的10個國家(即愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞、立陶宛、波蘭、捷克、匈牙利、斯洛伐克、斯洛維尼亞、馬爾他和賽普勒斯)加入《申根協定》。 根據各國達成的安排,歐盟將分步驟吸收10個新成員國加入《申根協定》。這些國家與15個現協定國之間的陸路和海路邊卡將於2007年12月開始撤除,而機場邊境檢查也將在2008年3月30日起取消

感謝馬機
我想可能誤會我的訊息,
我會飛到德國去,在法蘭克福轉機
(基本上我都是搭德航)
我只是不想入境歐盟國
這樣要多辦一個申根,基本上只進去辦簽證
實在划不來 ;-)
加上我的旅行時間不長,大約加飛機來回只有17天
若近歐盟花了幾天,這樣相對再波羅的海三小國任何一地的時間勢必減少,
所以才想要再台灣搞定其中一個地方便能出去

至於旅行社代辦的部份,稍早使館有回信告知我
可以請朋友過去送件(若是用DHL可以透過我公司跟DHL的合作,費用差將近4倍,這是我可以省的地方,去年寄到日本辦克羅埃西亞的簽證才知道我的公司名義送件有這種好處,將近900塊的費用我只要付180塊 :-P )
最麻煩的是愛沙尼亞,若朋友送件也需要詢問朋友一些旅行者的相關問題

至於明年加入歐盟..真是個好消息
倒是我可以考慮一下,
其實目前我的行程也都尚未確定
另一個思考的是斯洛維尼亞,但是也是很麻煩
只是去過一些歐洲國家後,目前暫不考慮去過的國家
另一方面我也想避掉夏天人超多的南歐國家與新興的東歐國家
一直想去西班牙,也在考慮中 :-S
但是一想到夏天的南歐.....我就有點打退堂鼓 :-$
所以我也是在傷腦筋自己的選擇該是哪
畢竟我在尋找心中認定較不同的地方
越努力越幸運
Baltic三國已經加入歐盟, 明年加入的是申根(這個跟簽證才有關係).
如果你很想花不少錢拿到即將絕版的簽證, 當然就趁現在了.
(我學長比我早一年去, 他的拉國簽證還是一大張紙哩, 等到我去時已經長得跟申根一樣了)

Baltic三國簽證主要會要求你的旅遊保險, 這點一定要請你的保險公司弄幾份英文版的, 而且裡面一定要註明含Baltic三國. 另外我當初是附上了我住宿家庭的邀請信函, 所以當初辦簽證時兩天就下來了, 大使館並沒有刁難, 相當順利.

另, 拉國簽證表格可以在網上download, 你可以事先填好.

如果需要Riga住宿或其他問題可以再寫私訊給我.

至於夏天的西班牙很棒啊, 我去年七月去了Granada跟Barcelona, 雖然熱但是乾燥, 晚上10點才天黑, 保證拍出來的照片絕對很美, 而且西班牙南部其實觀光客沒有像Barcelona或Madrid多, 把重心放在Andalucia上我相信可以玩得很盡興. 不如今年先去西班牙, 明年再殺去Baltic, 如何? (笑)

....
-official concent (letter of proxy) is written and signed at the notary
and authorised by the person, named notary public
-in the letter of proxy you write that you entitle the particular person(name, passport number, etc.) in Japan to submit your visa application and passport to the Embassy
-as you live in Taiwan, you should ask the notary public to authorise your letter of proxy in Taiwan

...
但是最後一點說明我有點困擾
我該要求誰幫我正式化我的授權書給我朋友呢???
外交部??OR?
覺得自己點有**癡中 :-$
對於上述的文字﹐我個人的了解如下﹕

-由公證人出具及簽署正式的同意函(letter of proxy﹕代理授權或委託書)
-在此代理授權或委託書中敘述你委託你的日本朋友(姓名﹑護照號碼﹑地址﹑電話號碼﹑等等)替代你本人到大使館遞送護照等文件進行申請程序
-因為你住在台灣﹐你得要求公證人在代理授權或委託書中註明你是從臺灣授權或委託

這最後一條看起來比較拗口﹐不過也只能做如此解﹔要不然就要到涉外專業的法律事務所去請教精確的涵義嘍﹗台灣也有公證人﹐但要找到具有一定程度外語能力及涉外事務的公證人恐怕要費點工夫。具涉外專業的法律事務所絕對可以勝任但代價恐怕不斐。
深知自己不討喜
拉脫維亞新近頒佈﹐從2006年12月1日起﹐持申根簽証或新歐盟會員國(捷克﹑塞浦路斯﹑愛莎尼亞﹑匈牙利﹑立陶宛﹑馬爾它﹑波蘭﹑斯洛伐克﹑斯洛維尼亞)之一的簽証者享有“過境免簽”(天數不詳﹐可能3-5天)的待遇﹐請參照官方網站的訊息﹕

:-) 我是前年去Slovenia & Croacia,在各國駐維也納大使館申請簽證,持有申根簽證為前提,Slovenia Visa上午遞件,下午取件,Croacia Visa則是上午遞件,隔日下午取件,祝順心如意!
PS.夏天的西班牙會熱死人,我心餘悸猶存,保重
桃花釀成酒
在更新一下立陶宛使館給我的訊息給大家更新更新資料...., so in case you plan to stayin Lithuania less than 30 days, you do not need an authorised invitation.
看一看以後覺得....好像還是要準備很多,倒是真的不用邀請函
...

根據下面的立陶宛官方網站的說法﹐除了基本的醫療保險之外﹐需要額外準備的資料應該只剩財力證明了。

http://www.urm.lt/index.php?1017292585

茲引述部份內容如下﹕

List of Countries, Whose Citizens are Eligible to Lithuanian Visas Without Invitation
1 Republic of Belarus (max. 30 days);*

2. Republic of Ecuador;

3. Republic of Kazakhstan (max. 30 days);*

4. Republic of Moldova;

5. Taiwan (max. 30 days);*

6. The South African Republic;

7. The Russian Federation (max. 30 days);*

8. Ukraine.

* Visas shall be issued upon presentation of evidence indicating that you can financially maintain yourself during the stay in Lithuania (traveller's checks worth 40 € per day, credit cards with due bank account statement).

看來﹐台灣人在他們的認知中算是比較窮的 :-S不知道是他們一向如此認為﹐還是因為意識到臺灣近幾年來的經濟持續不振 :-$
心冷怎暖
在波羅的海三小國之中﹐只有愛沙尼亞的簽証﹐除了停留不超過5天的案子﹐其餘都需要申請者出具邀請函﹔在愛沙尼亞沒有熟人可以幫忙而且想停留5天以上的情況下﹐或許可以試試找當地的旅館商量。

有關愛沙尼亞簽証細節的官方網址﹕

http://www.vm.ee/eng/kat_132/7718.html

茲引述部份內容如下﹕

3. Short-stay visa (§ 106 of AA) may be issued to an alien for a single entry without break or for multiple entries and stay in Estonia, the total duration of which does not exceed three months calculated as of the first date of entry into the country .

For the purposes of the Schengen Convention, the short-stay visa is a travel visa.

Accordingly, if a person holds a multiple-entry short-stay visa with the period of validity of one year, then it will be possible for him/her to stay under such visa in Estonia twice for 90 calendar days.

Short-stay visa without invitation
A single-entry short-stay visa for up to five days may be issued to an alien for entry into Estonia and for stay in Estonia for the purpose of using a tourism service or entertainment service, in case his/her economic situation enables him/her to meet the obligations set out in AA (accommodation and transport costs). In that case the alien does not need a person inviting him/her named in §-s 1016 of AA.

Short-stay visa is a travel visa. It is important to have in view the person’s travel purpose, which can only be the use of a tourism service or entertainment service. To visit an acquaintance or relative living in Estonia as well as to come to Estonia for business or other purposes, a visa continues to be required.

Documents proving the purpose of tourism may be:

- booked/bought travel tickets (return tickets);

- copy of the registration certificate of the vehicle;

- authorisation on the use of the vehicle;

- travel program etc;

- accommodation bookings/confirmation thereof.

4.1. Documents to be submitted upon application for visa
The list of documents to be submitted upon application for visa has been established by Regulation No. 150 of 27.04.2004 of the Government of the Republic.

The following shall be submitted upon application for visa:

1) a valid travel document;

2) application;

3) photo;

4) a valid health insurance certificate (the minimum rate for limit of indemnity in the health insurance agreement is 160,000 EEK for the whole period of stay in Estonia), which would grant the covering of treatment costs arising from an illness or injury at the period of validity of the visa being applied for, unless otherwise specified by law or an international agreement;

5) documents proving the purpose of the travel and the reason for it;

6) documents certifying the existence of sufficient monetary means during the stay in Estonia;

7) documents certifying the covering of the accommodation costs and the costs of stay in Estonia;

8) document certifying the payment of state fee or document certifying the exemption from paying state fee;

9) other documents

逞強久了自己都覺得累
2006年12月5日,歐盟各國主管內政和司法事務的部長級官員在布魯塞爾開會決定2007年12月31日起吸收於2004年5月加入歐盟的10個國家(即愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞、立陶宛、波蘭、捷克、匈牙利、斯洛伐克、斯洛維尼亞、馬爾他和賽普勒斯)加入《申根協定》。 根據各國達成的安排,歐盟將分步驟吸收10個新成員國加入《申根協定》。這些國家與15個現協定國之間的陸路和海路邊卡將於2007年12月開始撤除,而機場邊境檢查也將在2008年3月30日起取消
那是最樂觀的估計﹐在實現之前都可能出現變數而拖延﹐事實上更早的時間表是2007年秋季。愛沙尼亞甚至預計要到2009年才能在完成與歐盟中央資料庫連線的安全資訊系統後才會獲准撤除邊檢藩籬。相關訊息請參考下列網址﹕
http://www.euractiv.com/en/enlargement/schengen-enlargement-tabled-2007/article-160259
茲引述部份內容如下﹕
Interior ministers decided on 5 December 2006 to go ahead with the enlargement of the Schengen area to include the ten new member states that joined the Union in 2004. Land and sea borders will be phased out from 31 December 2007, and airports will follow from 29 March 2008 at the latest.

Portugal presented a compromise proposal that put an end to the tensions between the old and new member states. The deal foresees that the EU-10 temporarily maintain their old visa-data system, SISone4all, until SIS II is in place.

Finnish Interior Minister Kari Rajamaki said: "The abolition of internal border controls will have a great impact on the security of our citizens. For this reason, we must make sure that the Schengen Information System is secure and that the new member states are ready to fulfil all the requirements of the Schengen acquis."

The Schengen enlargement is tied to two conditions: the new member states must fulfil the security requirements for their external borders and the Schengen information system must be functioning in the new member states. This means that the new member states may join the Schengen zone at different times, according to their preparedness.

http://www.playfuls.com/news_10_135-EU-To-Postpone-Expansion-Of-Schengen-Border-free-Zone.html
茲引述部份內容如下﹕
The European Union is to postpone the expansion of its Schengen border-free zone due to problems with its central information system, a European Commission spokesman said Monday.

The delay means that the EU's ten new member states which joined the bloc in May 2004 cannot remove border posts and checks by autumn 2007, the spokesman said. He did not comment on a new timetable.

The Schengen Agreement removes border posts and checks between its member states and a common "Schengen visa" allows access to the area. However, the treaty does not cover residency or work permits for non-EU nationals.

Representatives of the EU's interior ministries last week revised the date for Schengen expansion because of "technical problems with the EU's central data information system," the spokesman said.

Estonian officials have said that the new information system will not be up and running before June 2008 and would then need a further testing phase of three months. Tallinn hopes to join the Schengen zone, in early 2009, officials said.

外交部2007/03/30 公告這三小國領務消息如下--

申辦波海三國簽證注意事項
波羅的海之拉脫維亞、立陶宛、愛沙尼亞三國尚未加入申根公約國,國人申辦上述三國簽證須由該等國家內政部核准,再通知其駐外使領館,外館並無核發簽證決定權。另上述國家基於國家安全,對外國觀光客持嚴審態度,國人若透過旅行社代填簽證申請書或填寫不實,極可能因此遭拒發,或入境時因簽證上之旅行目的不符而遭遣返,請國人多加注意。
