Boy, it's sounding worse by the minute LOL. When you get a chance it would be great if you could tell me which tour you did. I am doing teh 15day Central Europe Tour. You can check on cosmos.com.au The hotels I looked at say approx 3km out of the city centre. Oh well, hopefully there is public...

I know that but I'm saying that you still have to apply for a visa even if you had a drink driving offence. Basically they look unfavorably at any offence that you have committed over the last 5 years. No matter what the offence is, forget even trying to apply for a visa until 5 years has...

In the evenings, how did most people get into town ? Did they just walk or did everyone take a taxi and split the fare ? I'm not worried about during the day but I'm just a little concerned about feeling that I am stranded in these hotels in the middle of nowhere at night. Thanks, Steve. P.S - I...

Thanks again for letting me know. I will keep everything you have told me in mind.

When I arrive into Heathrow is there a question on their customs card asking about previous arrests ? Will I have problems entering the UK ?

Drink Driving IS now an offence and you have to apply for a visa. Check out this website. It is the official American Embassy website: Arrests and/or Convictions & How they affect your NIV application

Thanks heaps for letting me know. In a way though, I wish you hadn't now LOL. Sounds terrible ! What do you do in the evenings then if the hotels are so far away from the city ? If you don't do these "optional dinners", what do you do for dinner if the hotels are so far away from the city ...

1. I actually haven't been convicted of any crime yet. I haven't even been issued a summons yet and haven't you heard of "innocent until proven guilty" ?? I was simply arrested for questioning. 2. LOL, I hardly doubt a US citizen would run into such problems considering Akon managed to make...

Refused a visa at the consulate. Even the consulate guy thought that it was stupid but "those are the rules" Stuff the rules, I'm off to Europe now. At least I don't need to be made to feel like a criminal there.

What hotels and where were they ? I am going on the Central Europe Cosmos 15 day your and i looked at the hotel lists and the only one that I noticed was far out was the MErcure Hotel in Bad Homburg.

Well, everyone wanted to know the outcome and the outcome sucks ! coughK the USA ! Cause of a stupid mobile phone that I pawned I am banned from the USA for 5 years. The USA sucks and because of this I am never going back. I can guarantee you that in a few years 50% of Australians will be denied...

Yes, I found out that the hotel is only about 5-10 minute walk from the Station and I take the S5 to Frankfurt Main Station.

hi there, what is the easiest way to get from the above hotel to the Main Frankfurt Hauptbanhof ? I believe it is about 25-30 kilometres away. Is there a train near that hotel that can take me there ? I have a train trip at 930am to amsterdam

Yes, I will let you know the outcome. I have applied for a police record first, as soon as I get that, I will decide what to do next.

Thx guys for your help. Yes, if you could let me know after your Cosmos tour, that would be really helpful. Regards, Steve

I have been reading and replying to a few posts in the USA criminal conviction thread. I was just wondering if it as difficult to enter Europe if you have a upcoming court case? Does anyone have a copy of the customs form you have to fill out upon entering Frankfurt for a 15 day Cosmos tour?

I have read the visa requirements and I need copies of court dates, results etc. I do not have any documentation yet as the detective told me that I will not be receiving anything for the next 2 months. So what's the point of me applying for a visa if I don't have any court documentation ?

I have spoken to Legal Aid and they advised me that the magistrate will 99% not convict me of any crime but if I am then I have been advised to adjourn the court date and seek legal aid. This is all over property I found belonging to someone else and pawning it for $100. I have been told it is...

I will be unable to apply for a visa because my court case might not be until a couple of weeks before my trip and it can take 4-6 weeks to get a visa approved. The best option would be to adjourn my court case until I come back.

I was fingerprinted after I had my interview with the detective but I was not charged with an offence and did not receive any paperwork to state that I was charged. I was just told I will receive a summons but will not get a criminal record. Does this matter ?
