[governance] visas for india?

[Norbert Klein]

Some may know that the international tourism slogan of India is "Incredible 
India" - I got the message when I had to go 7 (SEVEN!) times to the Indian 
embassy in Phnom Penh (where I live) to get an expensive visa in order to 
attend the ICANN meeting in Delhi earlier in the year. It was a procedure 
that took several weeks, and I got the visa into my German pasport finally on 
the day before departure.

I had a nice, official letter of invitation - maybe it would have been seven 
times seven times without the official letter of invitation.

So I knew: "Incredible India!" - or at least incredible staff at the visa 
section of the Indian embassy in Phnom Penh.
