Iceland visa issue Today I finally received my Iceland visa. Because there are only three days before my trip left, visa’s approval process made me nervous. I am shocked how many bureaucracy we still have in XXI century. Iceland embassy asked me for a bank reference saying that I have enough money to cover all expenses during the trip. My bank sent me a digital reference that I printed and handed to embassy. Bud embassy didn’t accept that kind of reference and asked for a new reference printed on a bank blank and with bank stamp. Then shit started to happen (comm: should I use more polite phrase here? Which one?). My bank positioning is “digital” bank with only a few offices and great online and mobile services. And yes, digital services in that bank work good. But I couldn’t say the same about old-school “paper” staff. When I asked my bank for a paper reference, support worker said it would take at least two weeks to make that document. Of course, it was too late for me and I spent almost whole Monday trying to find an another bank that would open an account for me and then immediately would give me a reference. Happily, I succeeded and now I have my visa.
