Calling Their Bluff
Lately countries have started requiring eVisas even for countries that used to allow visa free travel. It’s very annoying. A month ago I signed up for an eVisa to get into Canada. Someone sent me the link, and after doing it I realised I didn’t use the official Canadian government website.. Instead I used signed up with evisatravel.org, they seem to sit in front of the real eVisa application process and forward the application to the Canadian government.
A few days later my girlfriend told me the link she gave me wasn’t the right website, and she suggested I sign up on the official site. Then I thought “I’ll chargeback that $79 USD payment, because fuck thsoe guys and their scammy website”. When I read this line “Please note that initiating a chargeback after service completion may result in your name being placed on the government blacklist, which could negatively impact any future visa applications.”
