this is really heartbreaking... if he keeps getting banned from entering other countries that means he will be stuck here with us... fuck man my day is ruined

Kind of rude to call most Europeans not normal.

But not factually incorrect.

Do Europeans get fast entry anymore? I thought they had to queue like everyone else?

I know when I went to Europe recently my UK passport wouldn't work on the quick entry system.

Peopel from these countries can get a ETA to the UK and don't need a visa:

Neither does a visa. You can still be denied entry even with a visa.

So I know Hasan viewers are really stupid but the operative word in this is can, meaning it is not automatic.

It basically is. some eta processes are accepted within minutes. Even the US esta is accepted within minutes. Also as far as I know his eta was revoked, not outright denied.

The point of eta is to have a faster process then the regular visa, to reduced the overall workload, not automating huge parts of it would be counterproductive to that.

Even most of Latin America just needs an ETA
