[governance] visas for india?

[Hanane Boujemi]

Hi,

Thanks for raising this issue. I am experiencing a problem getting the visa 
as well after 15 days I could not get an approval from the consulate in 
Malta. Indeed they did not have an idea what IGF stands for when I called 
directly to Libya since my passport should be sent there to be stamped, at a 
charge of course :).

I was told that my application needs to be approved from India, if it 
possible the organizers should provide the list of registered participants 
in IGF to all the Indian embassies around the world to make this procedure 
more flexible. I guess all of us need to confirm the ticket as well and it 
cannot be done last minute as it's the peak season there moreover the price 
is no joke!

Hanane
