Rob Pegoraro<p><strong>My least-replicable travel hack is now saving me money, not just&nbsp;time</strong></p><p class="">The passport that I’ve taken for much of my international travel since the spring of 2017 finally has some stamps in it–courtesy of the Brazilian border officers in São Paolo who did the honors with <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2019/03/02/my-least-replicable-travel-hack-an-irish-passport/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my Irish passport</a> at the start and end of my trip for <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/web-summit-rio/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Web Summit Rio</a> this week. </p><p>While I had traveled to Rio on my U.S. passport the previous two years, Brazil has since rolled out its <a href="https://www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/consulado-miami/information-about-visas-in-english/electronic-visitor-visa-e-visa" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">e-visa program for U.S., Canadian and Australian citizens</a>. Applying for one of these 10-year travel permissions costs <a href="https://brazil.vfsevisa.com/information" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">$80.90</a> and, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Brazil/comments/18ni7nz/brazil_evisa_faq_megathread/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">per numerous reports from travelers</a>, requires time and patience to deal with glitches and delays in the approval process. </p> <a href="https://robpegoraro.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/irish-passport-in-rio.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <p>Traveling with my Irish passport, however, required nothing beyond scanning it into the United app’s <a href="https://www.united.com/travelreadycenter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Travel-Ready Center</a>, having a check-in agent at Dulles eyeball that before issuing my boarding pass for last Saturday’s flight, and showing it one more time to a gate agent during boarding. </p><p>I didn’t have any issues exiting the country on that passport either, although having two passports on the reservation meant I had go through a second doc check for my U.S. passport before getting a boarding pass for my flight back to the States. </p><p>This was the second time this year that my Irish citizenship has saved me little money instead of merely letting me use shorter passport lines in Europe as an EU national (and not getting a passport stamp in the process). </p><p><a href="https://uk.usembassy.gov/worldwide-travel-alert-new-entry-requirements-for-us-citizens-traveling-or-transiting-through-united-kingdom-airports-effective-january-8-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Since Jan. 8</a>, American citizens traveling to the United Kingdom have had to pay £16 for a two-year <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ETA</a> (electronic travel authorisation) and do that at least three business days before flying to the U.K. It could have been worse; the British government originally planned to require an ETA just for connecting through Heathrow before <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/uk-eta-fee-transit-passengers-8777658" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">relenting</a>. </p><p>But Irish nationals are exempt from this, in keeping with the U.K. and Ireland’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/common-travel-area-guidance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Common Travel Area arrangements</a>. So I didn’t have to worry about getting an ETA for my two-day stopover in London between <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2025/02/28/a-different-sort-of-web-summit/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Web Summit Qatar</a> and <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2025/03/09/weekly-output-qualcomms-new-modem-t-mobiles-5g-advanced-mozillas-firefox-plans-android-updates-fcc-chair-at-mwc-oracles-cybertruck-demo-globalstar-ast-spacemobile-glydways-starship/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MWC Barcelona</a>. </p><p>Starting in the last quarter of 2026, I’ll get one more way to save a little money when the EU implements its <a href="https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ETIAS</a> (European Travel Information and Authorisation System), which will cost €7 and be valid for three years or, if sooner, the expiration of the passport used to apply for it. EU nationals will, of course, be exempt from that. </p><p>I feel a little guilty ducking all of these minor administrative obstacles since all of these countries are only responding to longstanding U.S. travel-permissions requirements for their own citizens. Brazilian citizens <a href="https://br.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visas/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">need a visa to travel to the U.S.</a>, with fees <a href="https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-br/niv/information/fee" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">starting at $185</a> for a 10-year non-immigrant tourist visa. And U.K. and EU nationals need to pay $21 for an <a href="https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ESTA</a> (Electronic System for Travel Authorization), good for two years or passport expiration. </p><p>No American can blame any foreign government for deciding to return a little of these favors. And every American should hope that foreign governments following news of the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/20/tourists-us-residents-detained-arrested-deported-ice-immigration-trump" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">incarcerations of international tourists and students in the U.S.</a> (in some cases <a href="https://sfs.georgetown.edu/news-deans-statement-on-detention-of-dr-badar-suri/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">only for their speech</a>) under the xenophobic Trump administration have the grace not to reciprocate.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/brazil-e-visa/" target="_blank">#BrazilEVisa</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/dual-citizenship/" target="_blank">#dualCitizenship</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/esta/" target="_blank">#ESTA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/eu-etias/" target="_blank">#EUETIAS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/international-travel/" target="_blank">#internationalTravel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/irish-citizenship/" target="_blank">#IrishCitizenship</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/irish-passport/" target="_blank">#IrishPassport</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/passport-stamps/" target="_blank">#passportStamps</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/passports/" target="_blank">#passports</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/u-k-eta/" target="_blank">#UKETA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/u-s-passport/" target="_blank">#USPassport</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/u-s-visa/" target="_blank">#USVisa</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/web-summit-rio/" target="_blank">#WebSummitRio</a></p>
Flipboard Culture Desk<p>According to a <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@newyorktimes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>newyorktimes</span></a></span> report, there's not really much evidence of the reported decline in international visitors to the U.S. due to the Trump administration — visits from some places including the Republic of Ireland and Argentina have even gone up. But there's one exception: Canada, where tariffs and threats to the country's sovereignty have upturned everything from shopping habits to politics and, of course, travel plans. Ticket sales for summer travel are down 21 percent on last year; car crossings at the land border dropped more than 40% in April 2025 vs. the same period in 2024.
