It’s almost like national boundaries were designed to control the movements of the poor, but not the rich.
Must just be my imagination, though.
There’s not one artistic profession on that list aside from photography.
Similar in Ireland. Had my kids’ passport applications co-signed by their school receptionist.
What’s the definition of “Knows you”?
Like, met several times a year, or the biblical “knows you”?
Known for at least 3 years, and not a relative. It’s not very strict. I was a referee for someone who I see a few times a year at most.
Were they a good fuck?
No but his sister was

Canada is the same thing, online or in person. Though they’ve removed the profession requirement in the last couple decades (but it was more restrictive back then, it was basically: lawyer, someone with a PhD, or an engineer).
Yeah, but like… Salvation Army officer?
But they’re an officer. Not one of those lowlife enlisted.
Wild that dentist doesn’t have any restrictions but doctor does.
These a bad teeth joke in there somewhere I just know it
photographer - professional
I have taken photos! If you pay me for one does that make me professional?
I published a zine in high school. Does that make me a journalist?
Also, I’m not sure that they realize how easily it is to form an LLC in the U.S. and name yourself chairman. And yes, this includes people with a U.S. passport.
Had the same requirement to get Australian citizenship. It wasn’t easy since most of the people I knew were mostly temporary residents/non-citizens too, and my occupation isn’t on the list so coworkers are out the running.
Weirdly, the person can be a U.S. citizen.
Fire services and police both present. Paramedics absent. Suspicious.
It just doesn’t make sense to me. It’s so random.
president or secretary of a recognised organisation
What constitutes a “recognized organization”? That sounds rather open to interpretation…
Recognization obviously.
I wish the USA had an equivalent to OBE.
Anyone happen to know if family by law counts? Or how people raised in another country are supposed to go about this? I was literally looking into this as well
Edit: read it more closely. Looks like I need a new plan B
