Can someone who have USA refugee travel document go to France without a visa?
No, that is not true. You will need to get a refugee travel document and will need to apply for a visa prior to travel to France. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/m... .. http://www.ambafrance-us.org/spip.php?ru... .. The only European Union countries that allow visa free stay for U.S. refugees for 90 days are Germany (DE), Hungary (HU), and SLovakia (SK). http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexU... ..[read page 18] On the visa FAQ site of the German Embassy you can read: "Holders of the “Travel Document for Refugees” which is issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security, are not required to obtain a tourist visa to enter the Federal Republic of Germany if they stay no longer than 90 days. The Travel Document must be valid for at least four months after entering Germany." http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/04__Legal/03__FAQ/Visa/__FAQ__Visa.html .. You could take a flight into Frankfurt and step on the train to Paris. It takes less than 4 hours with a stopover at Mannheim. Regular border controls have been abolished between the European countries participating in the Schengen travel agreement; you only risk to be faced with a random selection immigration control and could still state that you did not know that your Travel Document is not valid in France without a visa..

Can a UK refugee blue travel document holder travel to France visa free?
No you’re not a British Citizen. The benefits we get with a British Passport for travel is for British Citizens whose passport states nationality as British Citizen. The purpose of the refugee document is to enable one to identify themselves and state where you can be deported back to,the government is also saying to other foreign governments that they don’t recognise you as one of their citizens it’s not a passport it is a Travel Document a Passport is issued by a government to its citizens to allow the facilitating of travel and confirming that they know who they are to foreign governments and to request that government allow that citizen entry to their country. Every government is the same they’re not letting people who have those documents get the same benefits as someone who is a citizen with one of their passports otherwise they’d just give them a passport and nationality would say X Citizen which can be done but won’t be because it’s a passport and would come with the benefits of whatever that particular passport can offer. That’s why there’s a difference and they don’t have “European Union” on them and explicitly say Travel document with no lion and unicorn state seal coat of arms but the belt and garter logo of the home office. They’re also not printed by the passport office. This explains the difference between a UK passport and a Home Office Travel Document.
Can a refugee holding a UK Travel Document get a visa on arrival (ETSA) to USA, and visit countries that UK citizens can visit, without a visa?
You may not get the chance to even fly out of UK. Visa and inspections for flights coming into USA are very strict. Homeland Security always has the list of all passengers heading to USA before any overseas plane landed. This way, those “questionable” or “wanted” people can be transferred to secondary inspection and be processed accordingly.Always remember this, even if you are granted a VISA to enter the US, the VISA itself is not an automatic grant of entry. There are people being send back as quickly as they arrives every day.Several years ago, there was a woman holding UK passport heading to Los Angeles. On arrival this UK citizen was sent to secondary inspection, handcuff, taken to downtown Federal Immigration jail. She was send back to London few days later. The reason - she was a reporter coming to the US to report news back to UK. Homeland Security found that she has no “work visa” and hence deported her even though UK has a no visa requirement for travel to the US.There was another occasion, I saw an “INDIAN” with a Canadian passport being turn around and send back to Canada. This “Indian” man was trying to bring his “old” mother with a valid visa to US. The immigration authorities send them back because they believe , these people will stay and never return back to their country.
Do US embassies grant visas on refugee travel documents?
There are a few limited situations in which an immigrant visa may be issued to an individual who does not have a passport (see 9 FAM 201.2-4 IMMIGRANT TRAVEL WITHOUT A PASSPORT), the main ones being that the intending immigrant is stateless or is a national of a Communist-controlled country which refuses to issue travel documents to the intending immigrant.There is no specific provision to issue a nonimmigrant visa to a person not having a passport. The only people who can enter the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor without being in possession of a passport at the time of entry are:Canadian and Mexican citizens in possession of a NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI card, enhanced driver’s license, or other document that has been designated to be used in lieu of a passport at border crossings;Servicemembers of the military force of NATO member nations who are traveling under orders;Native Americans born in Canada who are eligible for migratory benefits under the Jay Treaty; andAnyone granted an individual waiver by DHS.A stateless person who wishes to travel to the US for a temporary, nonimmigrant visit will generally have to contact DHS in advance of travel to arrange for “advance authorization of parole”; this authorization will operate in lieu of the visa that the stateless person cannot be issued. (See 9 FAM 202.3 (U) PAROLEES for more information.) If advance authorization of parole is granted, the traveler will be issued an I-131 travel document by DHS that authorizes the specific travel approved, which will be presented at the border in lieu of both passport and visa.

Can I travel with refugee documents issued by the UK to Canada?
This is an observation, with a bit of personal experience.About 30 years ago I had my passport stolen in Estoril, Portugal. It was at about midnight on a Saturday evening. On Sunday morning I telephoned the UK embassy in Lisbon and explained me loss. The switchboard took my details and promised to call back.About 3 hours later a guy called me, he was the consul. We agreed to meet as soon as I could get there. I caught the train then walked to the Embassy and was shown to his office. He had obviously spoken about me to the passport office and had a copy of my photo for comparison. He told me I was a fool for allowing the theft and immediately hand apwrote a one trip passport and I could get home. A replacement arrived at my home in 4 days.Now in your case, you do not have a passport, you have refugee documents. UK border force often cite cases where undocumented migrants throw their passports away this denying a way of returning the migrant to their home. I suspect that any airline that you approach for passage to Canada will refuse you boarding. If they carry you they will probably be fined 10 to 20,000 pounds.So why do you not have your passport? It looks like countries are wishing to lost passports. In the United States the citizens seem to be demanding that arrivals without passports be locked in prison. Trump is asking for a massive new jail on the Mexican border.
Passport "valid Canadian travel document"?
You don't have any if you apply for the first time passport. Valid Canadian travel documents are: • a Canadian passport - issued to nationals of Canada • a Canadian temporary passport (8 pages) - issued to Canadians who have lost their passport overseas at Canadian Embassies or High Commissions • a Canadian Travel Document - issued to recognized refugees who are unable to obtain a passport from their country of nationality • a Canadian Certificate of Identity - issued to Permanent Residents of Canada who are unable to obtain a passport from their country of nationality.. Passport or valid travel document is listed on the supporting documents listing since Canadians who hold a valid passport need to send it back to Passport Canada if they apply for a new passport whilst the old one is still valid.
