[governance] visas for india?

[Parminder]

As per MAG discussions and also IGF website FAQs (new addition) if the IGF
registration does not work, one has to write to Dr Govind at
drgovind[at]nic.in. To quote 'you will need to provide your full name,
nationality, profession and passport number'.

Hi,

I went today and was told all is in order and I can pick up  
tomorrow.  The interventions from Markus, Shanker/MAG, and folks here  
seem to have made a difference. However, I was still asked to bring  
an invite letter from the government, which I had, but shouldn't have  
needed.  I hope more consulates will read the fax correctly, that  
registration alone is sufficient.

As a person living in India, I sent a note to the Government of  
India
to take note of this discussion four days ago and the Ministry of
Information Technology was prompt to send a reply to say "I think  
the
Visa issue stands resolved."

The Government of India might already have taken steps to ensure  
that
participants do not have problems with VISAs to visit India to  
attend
the IGF. Perhaps it takes just a little more time for the steps  
taken
by GOI on this issue to take effe


Thank you for your efforts, and those of the organisers and Indian
Government, in this regard. I understand that a copy of the
"instructions to Indian Missions Abroad" will be available on the  
host
country website soon, which will confirm the gratis-Visa arrangements
including the status of the registration confirmation as an  
invitation.
