Azerbaijan IGF Secretariat...<br>
<br>
- Visas: Arrangements with Azeri foreign ministry are being negotiated.<br>
<br>
o An expedited process is likely to be arranged so as to make “process as easy as possible”.<br>
<br>
o Normally can take up to 5-7 days for a visa to obtained. This will be expedited for IGF participants.<br>
<br>
o Comment made that “will try and see if Visas can be obtained upon arrival” by IGF participants.<br>
<br>
o Information about visas will be announced no later then 3 months before event (Aug 2012)<br>
