В остальном уважаемый ресурс nomadmania.com выпустил совершенно позорную фетву «What is a visit?», с которой я совершенно не согласен:

Thebesttravelled.com NomadMania.com defines a ‘minimal visit’ as:

* In the case of international border crossings where there is a border control, clearance of immigration authorities is required, and a visit to the area immediately beyond the immigration area itself is accepted. In the case where there is no border control between nations, standing in an area belonging to a region is accepted.

* In the case of regional border crossings, standing beyond the demarcation line between two regions is accepted.

* In the case of airport stopovers, standing with both feet in an area beyond the airport area is accepted.

* In the case of train transits, standing with both feet in an area beyond the train platform and train station is accepted

* In the case of road (bus, car, motorbike) transits, beyond what has already been mentioned regarding international border crossings, standing with both feet within the region is accepted.

* In the case of visits to areas by ship/vessel, beyond what has already been mentioned regarding international border crossings, standing with both feet in the region in question is accepted. However, for regions which are uninhabited and do not have any permanently manned stations (Ashmore and Cartier, Heard and McDonald, Bouvet Island, Clipperton Island), a clear sighting of the land in the region within the territorial waters is accepted.

«Вышел из вокзала двумя ногами» — вы серьёзно?!

Это, конечно, недопустимо низкий стандарт. Я для себя визитом в страну/территорию считаю место, где я не только вышел из дверей вокзала с печатью в паспорте, но ещё поел и пописал за его пределами. Это важно.

А на необитаемый остров, конечно, всё равно необходимо высадиться и встать ногами. Поэтому я себе так и не посчитал архипелаг Туамоту во Французской Полинезии и Vestfirðir в Исландии (не ел) и необитаемые о-ва Gough, Inaccessible и Nightingale (не стоял ногами)

 
Ну, за высокие стандарты!
