Visaphobia

Visaphobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings, like fear and anxiety, toward travel when visa is required. Visaphobia is especially common among travelers from disadvantaged countries (e.g. Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc...) whose citizens need a visa in most destinations they want to visit.

Abdul suffers from Visaphobia because he is Syrian and he always has to apply to visas wherever he travels. They are not e-visas which makes the paperwork complicated so he avoids business and leisure travel as much as possible.
