The Most Ridiculous Visa Questions Ever

Polls have indicated that the Indian immigration have the most ridiculous questions ever, i went scrounging the web to discover the strangest things travelers around the world have been asked during a visa application. Needless to say, how well you answer this questions determines whether your visa application would be granted or denied.

Here goes.. try not to laugh.

1. “Describe your moustache/beard” – one respondent claimed to have found this on a Mexican visa application form, with the options of scanty, bushy or clipped to choose from. (this got me laughing really hard)

2. “Have you been to a farm in the past six weeks?” – in order to enter Australia.

3. “How many wives do you intend to bring?” – apparently asked of a travelling businessman on a Middle Eastern visa application.

4. “What side of the bed does your wife sleep on?” – two respondents were asked this by US authorities (do i even know what side i sleep on)

5. “Foreigners please sing in the box” – a typo seen on a Mexican immigration form.

6. “In times of either peace or war has the applicant ever been involved, or suspected of involvement, in war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide?” --Asked of overseas students entering the UK.

7. “Has the applicant ever been involved in, supported or encouraged terrorist activities in any country?” – variations of this question were asked by both UK and US authorities according to a number of those surveyed.
No 7 question must be there to cover the behinds of immigration officers, so if a terrorist ever blows up Washington they can wave a form and say "Don't blame us, WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED if he was going to do that, and he said No.

8. "Are you to engage in Pimping or Prostitution"
     Has anyone ever answered "Yes, that's the reason for my visit?"

9. Name three things about your intending course of study- students applying for Students Visa are regularly faced with this particular question.

Here are some more real questions from the US entry form prepared by the homeland security department, along with my suggested replies.
Q: "Have you ever been convicted for an offense involving Moral Turpitude?"
A: "Please repeat the question in English"

Q: "Are you involved in espionage?"
A:  "Yes, I have been a spy my whole life, but i'd have to give it up, now that you have brilliantly outed me."

Q: “Between 1933 and 1945 were you involved in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?”
A: “Yes, and by the way, i am 140 years old today.”

Q: “Do you have a mental disorder?”
A: “Yes, everything I say is the opposite of the truth, including this statement.”

(This may cause the immigration officer’s head to explode, so stand well back.)

Happy Travels.............:)
