If you are asked or not is somewhat random. "Tourism" is a perfectly acceptable answer, btw. you don't need to lay out your travel plan in detail. | |

| Nov 25, 2016 at 20:22 | comment | added | AndrejaKo | This could be extremely localized, depending on the type of the border and who is crossing. Quite often, I (a local) cross borders in the Balkans without any questions asked at all. Sometimes, the immigration won't even look a the passport. | |

So far Usa, UK and EU countries have asked me all the time"why are you coming here" | |

You say that "cash [in foreign currencies] should be equivalent to at meast match with your duration of stay" but this is nonsense. As you've already said, access to funds is enough. If you have cards, you don't need to turn up with the whole amount in cash. | |

| Nov 25, 2016 at 9:04 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | You do go on to say this, but the first sentence of your last paragraph is misleading. Legally I don't think there is a limit to how much you can carry (although expect to be asked questions if you turn up with a million dollars in your suitcase). The limit is on how much you can carry without having to declare it. | |
