[governance] visas for india?

[Elena Pavan]

Dear all,

I have seen on the IGF website that each country abroad posts of the 
Indian government should release a *gratis visa to the participants* to 
the IGF in Hyderabad. i just called the agency the italian indian 
consulate indicated me in milan and, apparently, gratis visas will be 
released only for those who own a UN passport (I did not even know that 
there is a UN passport, mea culpa). for other participants turistic 
visas for something around 70€ will be released or business visas for 
120€ (plus expenses to go to milan or to pay exeditions). is it just me 
having heard this? not that it is a problem, it is not so much money but 
if it is the way it works then maybe the host country website should say 
that -the way it looks like now seems to suggest that everyone will have 
a visa for free/gratis. it is also possible that, as often happens, 
italian organizations might suffer from some leak...in that case  i will 
deal with this -and i'm sure money will have to be paid anyhow.
please, do let me know.
I'll see you soon.
Elena
