3) A Russian lady was looking for a European visa to work ‘her trade’ in the Netherlands. That trade being prostitution.

4) An embalmer got in touch who wanted to move his skills preparing dead bodies for burial from Mexico to Spain. It later emerged thatthe applicant had an ‘extensive criminal record’ so the visa was subsequently refused.

5) A gondolier in Venice – one applicant reckoned they were a dab hand with a pirogue in their native Mali so wanted to transfer their skills with a punt to the Venetian waterways after ‘seeing it on television’.
