why do 3rd world countries require visa's for 1st worlders, shouldn't they be happy that we decided to spend our glorious currency in their shithole?

poles are untrustworthy

>>212480512 (OP)
you're not a first worlder though

>>212480544
True. Imagine what this would look like without EU membership

>>212480512 (OP)
real I've always wondered that too

>>212480570
what's with all the salty ass germans lately, recession woes?

>>212480512 (OP)
>>212480629
it's a cuck move to have your citizens be blocked by visas but not requiring visas from those same countries, that's why

>>212480512 (OP)
many countries have a revenge visa law where they visa anyone who visas them

>>212480651
exactly
reciprocity is basic decency

>>212480651
>>212480675
it's a cuck move but in principle there is no risk of anyone from the west illegaly immigrating to fucking algeria or sudan, while the other way around... well you know the anwser.

You lose more than we do anyway.

>>212480730
risk doesn't really matter, it's a political decision. We've been begging americans for visa-free travel since forever and they keep saying "your denial rates need to go down" and so the question is "what criteria are there for getting denied" and they just smirk, since it's 100% political and subjective.

>>212480730
we impose visa on everyone in the world desu, if you wanna come go ask for it, otherwise we couldn't care less
how much money are you gonna spend here, 500 bucks? 1000?
we make that much exporting 5/10 oil barrels, nothing burger

>>212480512 (OP)
>>212480633
>>212480730
shut up polACK

>>212480845
does this "we" include everyone in the country or like 10 guys in the government?
>>212480810
it's really hard to get denied on any visa if you're a normal person, I've been to 30 countries and never was denied (inlucding US)

>>212480926
my buddy got denied for a fucking tourist visa to the US to go see his girlfriend even though his parents own like 5 apartments and he proved he's dating that girl. Like I said it's basically random until some suits in congress decide you're first world

>>212480512 (OP)
Poland trying to act arrogant is embarrassing

>>212481197
why not? rising star baby

>>212481197
it's like the dude who was poor all his life and wins the lottery, I'm afraid we're going down the same path by bullying the immigrants here

>>212481197
>>212481321
I agree OP is insufferable but what's equally annoying to me is random thirdies from latin america all the way to southeast asia trying to talk us down and pretending they are the same as us or that God dropped economic growth on our heads without any own effort.
In this specific case it's a dude from a petrostate that mostly grew on account of foreign corporations digging up oil they were lucky to find on its territory, and a dude from another dying slav country that also joined the EU just like we did, but somehow is still poorer and falling behind despite being more developed 3 decades ago
TLDR glass houses, stones, etc

>>212481668
>despite being more developed 3 decades ago
Woiczechschz, I don't know what they feed you over there but the last time we were more developed than Poland was sometime around 1250AD

>>212481668
>God dropped economic growth on our heads without any own effort.
That's true. German gods

>>212481725
GDP per capita shows otherwise thoughever
>>212481773
Judging by the fact he missed Portugal, Greece and like half of Eastern Europe, it seems that God is actually a Pole

>>212480512 (OP)
Stupid thirdie national pride.

>>212480512 (OP)
If Europeans come here it's mostly to do drugs or traffick child pornography

>>212481859
>GDP per capita
retarded stat and I don't say it because it makes us look bad

>>212481859
All of eastern Europe in the EU experienced economic growth after admission. Romania and Bulgaria joined 3 years later and don't directly border one of the richest countries in the world, i.e. Germany.

Really hate the CIA image campaign on behalf of their truest lapdog

>>212481197
Ikr eastern europes have gotten so arrogant

>>212481668
shut it nigga, poland superpower 2030 is real

>>212481937
don't invite more eastern euros
they already have criminal groups in south america. most are poles and albanians

>>212482167
Dutch are known pedos here

>>212482093
Poland is by far the worst offender, fueled by republican blowies with an agenda

What makes matters worse on the internet in general and on my neck forums even more so is that in software wages are partially international and they conflate the development of their shit holes in general with being allowed to cobble together JavaScript frameworks for Nutten billiger GmbH

>>212480730
>in principle there is no risk of anyone from the west illegaly immigrating to fucking algeria or sudan
Westerners overstaying visas while and often times abusing vulnerable people/kids is a cliche at this point.

>>212480512 (OP)
You're not a 1st worlder, just an invitee to the firstie club

As for your question, it's simple. There is no legit reason for a firstie to visit a shithole, those who do are after illegal shit (usually pedophilia). As such, every firstie visitor here is suspect, and is considered fair game for violence.

>>212480926
It's a gamble. If the visa/entry bureaucrat wants to be power tripping sad sack of shit because its the only form of control they have in their life they WILL do so. They've done it to middle class Australians on sports teams, multi millionaire Mexicans, Africans holding doing an academic conference abroad, a Belgian who's traveled and successfully done previous applications for decades.

>>212481668
As of now, we are officially metal manufacturers instead of oil diggers.
Btw, I don't act arrogant to anyone

>>212481989
we don't border germany but a poor empty shithole called GDR

>>212482223
Germ ans still use fax machines they don't need any code programmed for them we mostly do FANG and AI like chatgpt

>>212482881

You're not a real country if you just let everyone in while your citizens get humiliated in embassies and airports for the chance to go somewhere.

the thirdie cope in here is insane

>>212483965
Why are you so insufferably nasty

>>212480810
No they don't you simply have to have no more than 3% denial rate and they will lift the visa requirement. It's pretty straightforward and not subjective at all. Croatia managed to do it during Covid by purposely sending politicians and businessmen and other wealthy people to America because their visa applications wouldn't get denied and regular citizens didn't travel because of the pandemic and that's how they fulfilled the threshold

Because thirdies like to do this cool thing called "working under the table as an illegal immigrant"

>>212484183
they could only do that if there weren't too many normies getting denied. And again, 3% denial means nothing since there are NO hard rules on getting denied like minimum income, education etc. It's literally some office drone deciding if he likes your vibe

The Brazilian answered it well
There's no reason for a firstie to go to a shithole unless it's for nefarious reasons

I agree that eastern Europeans acting arrogant is cringe and all but I gotta ask - what is the threshold for not being considered third world anymore? Serbia is not even close to the living standard of western countries by any means, but it's really silly putting Serbia in the same category as India or Mauritania for example when we all know that if you offered someone to live in one of these countries everyone would choose Serbia

>>212480512 (OP)
Most of the time visa policies are reciprocal

>>212484670
It's a gradient with arbitrary cutoffs

>>212484670
>>212484903
It's all relative
Countries in southern and eastern Europe are treated by some normies like Somalia because they compare them to Norway or Switzerland (even if subconsciously) while for example brown countries that are richer than their neighbours are treated like "Switzerland of the x" even if they're poorer than Albania or Belarus. For example you see that often with Chile or Botswana, even Rwanda
So no, eastern Europe will never reach the "threshold" because that would mean having to go toe-to-toe with Germany, Netherlands, Sweden etc and that's likely never going to happen

>>212480512 (OP)
we?
