Sometimes it's prudent to get cash in a foreign currency in advance of a trip. (You may be travelling to a place where credit/debit cards or traveller's cheques are not widely accepted, or where ATMs are rare. Alternatively, your bank/credit cards may work but the associated exchange rates or fe...
I applied for uk visitor's visa. My friend sent me an invite to spend a month with her with a letter stating she would would pay for my accommodation and food. She provided her salary slip, bank statement and copy of her British passport. My visa was declined for below reasons. The exact word...
@MarkMayo But I'm confused. On some sites (or just SO?) to VTC as a duplicate there has to be an answer. That seems to be the case here (per 'dupe banner'). What should we do here if a duplicate but each (a) unanswered and (b) each on topic?
Anyone happen to know if TSE has any questions re document courier. Search turns up 7 that are not what I mean. I'm interested in why these now seem such a rare breed - the internet has been offered as an explanation but I'm not convinced by it.
So we have a few questions on similar scenarios on meta, but generally the answer seems to have been 'mark as dupe'. However, we can't, as neither question has an answer yet.
However, it's the same question, same user, posted within hours of each other.
Question 1 - http://travel.stackexchange...
Dodgy, because the rules might be different for different sites (I think there are some differences in the number of votes required across sites). Hopefully it will be migrated.
@MarkMayo My guess is they mostly got closed anyway, so no real harm done (the beauty of democracy!).
@MarkMayo He's holding a grudge apparently. He was banned for a while and now he's a contrarian in the voting queue. I do enjoy his posts when he answers.
@pnuts Ironic that the answers that take a long time to compose, like an hour or two get 1 vote and the stuff you do just off the top of your head get lots. Ironic to me :)
@GayotFow Certainly the case but to be expected - the "long time" ones are likely to be rare cases (so 'corner'), the "off the top of your head" ones are likely general interest. Don't see a way around it.

Documents for Financial Status and First Point of Entry has been answered on TSE so I think proof of lack of research (hence my -1, though I note only one -1 after 13 views). However all the guidance about dupes is to one (or more) questions that are the same.
IMO that does not cover part the same as another (or several) and part the same as yet another (or several), so I have not VTC'd it.
@Ankur Well I've rejected at least ten suggested edits (always to the same answer and probably always from the same anonymous user). eg travel.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/36063 (Willeke has not gone loopy - she has got fed up with seeing them too!) The system identified it as possible spam but it would be nice not to have to keep rejecting them until the end of time.
@pnuts About the comment on locking old posts...I wouldn't go around proactively locking old posts unless flagged. Partly because of the volume of questions. If I come across one while browsing that would fall foul of community rules now, I do block it.
But I wouldn't flood the front page with old questions by locking them.
I'll have to think about it. Just come across Why would you wrap your luggage in plastic? again. Blatantly a matter of opinion, but an answer that combined the 18 would be useful - except 300+ votes there would complicate any action.
