Ive been corresponding with her for a while. She could open a visa only in 1 month in her previous letter at the travel agency, but if i send her the visa money she can drive sooner than a month to poland or czech. She said she can write her address in the next letter and account. I have called her twice so she is real.
has anyone else been asked to pay for the permit to travel and stuff? how did u get on?
I was tempted to say the same Olga but I was undecided.
Some 'check' questions that spring to mind are that, according to the web link that I previously provided to BF, Poland and CZ have different entry rules but according to the lady a 1 month visa is no problem, as if they are the same rules for both countries, i.e. it is something that she has just made up.
Many EU countries will insist that the individual attend an interview at the consulate, BF, stop being a lazy BF and expecting us to do the work for you, check, via the consulate website, or via telephone to a consulate, exactly what the procedures are for applying for and being granted a visa.
What about the required return tickets and the sufficient funds that she must be in possession of? BF, nothing personal but you really are like an accident waiting to happen, you need to stand on your own two feet and find these things out from 'official' sources and stop asking for 'hearsay'.
You know that really awesome chicks, are not going to hang about for long.
You should send her the money as soon as possible.
Be sure to report back and let us know how it goes
Have you met this girl before.... in her country? The rule I am always told here is 'don't send money
to someone you don't know personnally. Is waiting a few weeks longer going to put a bind on you?
I'm not a savy veteran but time could be your saviour.
Just as easy to send her the money and see if she gets it than sending a bunch of flowers and getting someone to take a picture.
Its basically option money and if it pays off a good reward is had and if not it wont break the bank. Best though to send the money to a travel agent organising the trip rather than her direct.

Yeah, right, 9 times out of 10 the Travel Agency is part of the scam.
The first rule in this game is "you never send money to anybody you have never met." That way you can never get scammed. Simple, no?
Doesn't matter if she's askin' for 10 bucks or 10 thousand.
It does matter what she is asking as travel costs are also very expensive. If you are going there anyway it doesnt matter if you are making a special trip it becomes an expensive and disheartening exercise.
I would spend $100 - 150 to eliminate a timewaster and discover if she is a scammer or is real. If that is a serious amount of money to you then you are the timewaster.

Then the smart move would be to hire somebody to deliver flowers & make a scam check such as ScamCheck.com.
As for time wasting, I doubt I fit that catagory as I moved to Russia to make sure I got the right woman!
I wouldn't even send her flowers, I'd travel to her home city to meet her, if I believed she was worth a visit, and I wouldn't fart around trying to avoid FSU nor meeting in CZ/Poland.
Hmm lets think about this. I was going to Kiev and Odessa on a 10 day trip. Had written to a few girls and one from Lugansk wanted to meet me. She wanted me to go to Lugansk. Did I really want to spend 3 days in Lugansk when I could be in Kiev or Odessa. Not really. She finally agreed to come to Kiev if I sent her $200. I sent it, she didnt come. If she was serious she would have come. Maybe she had cold feet or maybe she was a scammer. Either way I dont lose any sleep about the $200 and met my current girlfriend in Kiev. I currently spend 4 months a year in Kiev with my girlfriend.
"Then the smart move would be to hire somebody to deliver flowers & make a scam check such as ScamCheck.com."
I fail to see sending flowers and getting a picture is anymore certain then sending her money to enable her to travel to you. If she doesnt turn up have some backups or have a nice holiday but dont waste time worrying about whether you have been scammed out of $200. Think about it is only about two meals out for 2 people.
i have decided the best way around this problem is for me to send the lady my credit card with my 4 digit pin number then she can buy visa and other documents herself with my card.
If your so keen to piss your money away, why not just send it to me. I can send you some great pics of non exsitant women & you can get your jolly's & have a good time with Momma thumb & her four daughters.
How rediculous. No wonder most women I meet think most men are idiots, they are! Nothin' like keepin' the scammers fed & the scam agencies in buisness, Give them more money, hell I like the credit card idea, why don't you just sign over your house!!!
How in hell are we ever gonna clean up this industry if the Morons can't see the point in what sending a woman $200.00 bucks to show up is proving. It proves only one thing "You are an idiot!"
$200.00 bucks to her is a good months wages, ten guys like you keeps her in furs & a luxury apartment, talk about lunatics running the asylum. Just one more fool to prove to me that you really don't want to clean up this industry & you really don't give a crap about the next guy who may get ripped off. Yep, never ceases to amaze me the morons I meet on these boards!!!
You are crazy if you send her your card number!!!! Man she is going to travel the world I hope you have a low credit limit! I agree with Rvrwind. Think with the Big Head Not The Little Head! The blood can't occupy both places at one time. So keep it like a scared Turtle and hide your Number!
