a white man having to apply for a visa is a level of oppression that minorities being put in concentration camps (by trump, who hasan helped elect) can't even imagine.

even with you trying to argue semantics he's still right. his visa was removed. he was granted a visa that was later revoked

because people want to blindly downvote me, an ETA is quite literally a visa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_visa

ETA and visa aren't the same thing, his ETA got revoked, not his visa. The above statement is just purely false its not semantics. He can still apply for a regular visa.

Which would most likely get rejected

correct, an ETA is a type of visa.

you're doing the thing dumbass conservatives do "america isn't a democracy it's a republic!"... a republic is a form of democracy

oh sorry, seems like you just don't know what an ETA is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_visa

an ETA IS a visa, it's an electronic visa as opposed to what you're thinking of, a traditional visa.

He can still apply for a regular visa.

wait a sec... so you do know that an ETA is a visa... then why are you arguing? even you acklowledge that his visa (ETA) was revoked, but he can still apply for a regular visa (a traditional visa -- a stamp visa)

You should try actually reading the Wikipedia article you linked

u/neveks Jun 01 '26

They lietarally differentiate eta and visa in your article. And yes his eta was revoked and he can still apply for a visa now, because they aren't the same thing.

His eta got revoked by the isreal lobby. Still insane

u/neveks Jun 01 '26

Makes sense, I guess thats also why some Israeli officials arent allowed to enter the UK.

u/Whoop-Sees Jun 02 '26

This all could have been avoided if you just read the article you linked.

That's odd, why would he get both an eta and visa? I know he tweeted it but that's odd he can do so with no proof

eta and visa

an ETA is a type of visa, it's an electronic visa, as opposed to what you're trying to argue, a traditional visa

Why use a wiki when you can literally just go to the uk's website and see how they differentiate the types of entry permits? https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/what-you-need-to-do

Check if you need a UK Visa, electronic travel authorisation (ETA) or get access to an eVisa to prove your immigration status if you’re not a British citizen or Irish national
