ʻO Visas
"Inā makemake ʻo Theresa May e hoʻonui i nā mea kūʻai aku i India, ʻo ke ala maʻalahi a wikiwiki hoʻi e hana ai, ʻo ia ka hoʻokipa ʻana i nā malihini mai India e hōʻea i UK a hoʻolilo i kā lākou kālā haole ma nā hōkele, nā hale ʻaina, nā ʻauhau, nā hale kūʻai a me nā mea hoihoi ʻē aʻe. E hana koke ia i nā hana. ʻO nā visa ka mea keakea nui i ka mākaʻikaʻi inbound mai India. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia mai ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka hana mākaʻikaʻi o UK me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ʻEulopa e koi ana i kahi visa Schengen.
ʻO ka visa UK he ʻumikūmālua ʻaoʻao ka lōʻihi e hiki ai ke komo i ʻelua mau ʻāina a me ke kumukūʻai £87. Pono ia i nā mea a pau e papa inoa i nā huakaʻi honua āpau i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala, e hōʻike ana i ka lōʻihi a me ke kumu. E nīnau ana i nā nīnau penei: "Ua hōʻike paha ʻoe i nā manaʻo e hōʻoiaʻiʻo a hoʻonani paha i ka hana hoʻoweliweli a i ʻole e paipai i kekahi i nā hana hoʻoweliweli a i ʻole nā hana hewa koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe? Ua hana anei ʻoe i kekahi mau hana ʻē aʻe e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e manaʻo ʻia he kanaka maikaʻi?"
ʻO ka mea maopopo, ʻo ka noho ʻana ma Schengen e hiki ai i kahi ʻāina ke huki i ka hoihoi o kona mau hoalauna. ʻO Benchmarked mai 2006, ua hōʻike ka UK i ka ulu ʻana o ka helu hoʻokahi i nā malihini mai India, ua ʻike ʻia ka ulu ʻana o ka Schengen ma kahi o 100%.
"Ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka ʻaelike Schengen, ʻo kēlā me kēia hoʻolālā India e hele i kahi hoʻomaha hoʻomaha pan-European i kū ʻia me nā keʻena birocratic formidable," wahi a Karan Anand, ka luna o ke Kōmike Outbound o ka ʻAhahui India o nā Tour Operators. "No ka mea i hala i ʻeono pule e noi ai no kahi visa, ʻaʻole hiki ʻole i nā mea kūʻai ke hele i ʻeono mahina o nā noi e hoʻonohonoho i kahi kipa. No laila, ua hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi ʻo Schengen. I kēia manawa hiki iā mākou ke kūʻai aku i nā huakaʻi e hōʻike ana i nā wahi a kā mākou mea kūʻai aku e makemake ai e kipa ma kahi ala i hiki ʻole ke hele ma mua. ʻOiai i kēia lā, ʻo ka luʻu i mua o mākou e hoʻokele i ka noi no ka mea ke ulu nei ka nui o nā poʻe India e kipa ana i ka ʻāina Schengen ma kahi o 25 pākēneka makahiki i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
"He hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi kēia o ka hoʻohālikelike hoʻohālikelike," wahi a Tom Jenkins. "I kēia manawa, maopopo, ʻaʻole hiki i ka UK ke komo i ka Schengen zone. Akā ʻaʻohe mea e kāohi iā lākou i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā pae o ka maikaʻi o ʻEulopa.
