I'm sure his billions of dollars will be able to straighten out the visa application.

I hope he doesn't end up as another guy trapped in an embassy. With any luck he'll actually make it to the country.

csomar | karma 16546 | avg karma 2.52 · | 2009-06-19 10:28:15+00:00

I think he doesn't have visa issues

robhu | karma 456 | avg karma 3.19 · | 2016-08-14 23:30:02+00:00

Possibly he already had a visa.

And you think the US will grant him a visa to work being a fugitive of a muslim country?

dhume | karma 222 | avg karma 2.06 · | 2011-04-10 15:48:29

I wonder how much of this it would take to get him to seek asylum in another country?

raverbashing | karma 22421 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2014-04-22 18:38:53+00:00

Yeah, but I don't think his current visa was given out "of the goodness of their hearts"

It's surprising the Russians issued him a visa after he entered their country illegally. Fingers crossed for him arriving there today.

I haven't seen any articles discuss a major issue: his immigration status. If he's on a visitor/business visa he likely only has 6-12 months in the country. If he's there as a tourist, 90 days. If he overstays his visa, he can be arrested and deported.

My guess is he expected non-medical sponsored visa as a person of special interest to Australia. And as a 9 time winner, he had every right to at least hope for such case. If political circumstances in Australia were different, and/or if he was less vocal, he just might got it.

aritmo | karma 1427 | avg karma 3.58 · | 2020-01-23 12:39:34+00:00

Surely he can apply for asylum in many countries, considering his extraordinary circumstances.

jonathanhd | karma 125 | avg karma 5.43 · | 2022-11-14 04:01:24

The bigger issue is that he is likely now without a work visa and has to scramble to avoid deportation.

zepto | karma 7190 | avg karma 1.03 · | 2019-11-20 03:36:03

Seems like if that request is denied then he’ll have confined himself to the embassy for nothing.

jsumrall | karma 234 | avg karma 1.71 · | 2013-07-06 01:07:27+00:00

I'm sure he's relieved to hear he's able to go to Venezuela.

ape4 | karma 4305 | avg karma 1.73 · | 2015-05-01 15:08:44+00:00

He might want to visit the USA some time.

dionian | karma 546 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2020-01-05 17:19:34+00:00

If he immigrated legally, I'm not sure the current administration has done anything to hurt him

rbanffy | karma 158565 | avg karma 2.97 · | 2010-08-06 22:28:08+00:00

If lack of US citizenship were the only problem, I have little doubt it would be given to him regardless of his wishes.

eru | karma 30335 | avg karma 1.29 · | 2014-02-27 03:34:53+00:00

He's not gonna get a visa for the US.

dnautics | karma 17907 | avg karma 2.14 · | 2013-07-01 19:41:45+00:00

He should appeal to the US for political asylum, for completeness.

gngeal | karma 987 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2013-10-17 13:30:27+00:00

True, but they won't let him enter the US now that he has too many passport stamps.
