Often other nationals doesn't have to go through these checks if they just want to travel for a short period of time but of course, if they want to stay longer and such, there are some requirements needed. And yes, having funds don't often guarantee too, status matters as well at times 😄 and as much as it annoys me, it's just how it is. The international affairs can be very complex and I understand that part but it just unfairness treatment that irks me 100% of the time.
