Travel Visa Service: 4 Countries Worth The Money
December 17th, 2013
Applying for a travel visa for one of the countries on this list? You'll probably want to seek professional help with the application process from an experienced group of experts.
India
Currently, India's visa system is complex and can be confusing, even if you're just going as a tourist. In fact, the US Department of State notes that "Indian visa regulations change frequently, often with little advance notice, and changes may be poorly advertised and inconsistently enforced."

5 Facts About Indian Visa Services
November 4th, 2013
Planning a trip to India? You'll need an Indian visa. Here are 5 things you need to know before you apply:
1) Apply ahead of time.
Some countries offer visas on arrival to US citizens. For example, if you visit Mexico, you simply go through immigration and get a visa stamped in to your passport- no need to apply ahead of time. However, India does not offer visas on arrival. You must apply in advance, or you will be denied entry.
2) Check your passport.
As long as your passport is valid for the length of time you plan to be in India, you're good, right? Wrong. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after your arrival in India, and it must have at least 2 blank pages in the back. You won't get your visa if your passport doesn't meet these qualifications.

The Konso Cultural Landscape is the ancestral homeland of the Konso people, a group of farmers and herders living in South Central Ethiopia.
According to UNESCO, the site "constitutes a spectacular example of a living cultural tradition stretching back 21 generations (more than 400 years) adapted to its dry hostile environment. The landscape demonstrates the shared values, social cohesion and engineering knowledge of its communities."
In addition to showcasing the Konso people's traditional lifestyle, the Cultural Landscape also contains funeral monuments called wagas. These wooden statues are carved in th
