[governance] Baku visa requirements etc.

Fri Oct 19 03:27:41 EDT 2012

Dear Alex,

Thanks - it turned out my issue was that on the iPad, using two different
browsers, the visa info link on the IGF host website doesn't do anything.
It does on the desktop though.

(Cheers to those who replied with the direct link)

 Nick,

 there are a few websites like http://www.visahq.com/citizens/ which
collect visa requirements for all countries of origin and destination.

 The information is not authoritative, may change over time (quite suddenly
over time), there may be requirements that are not published officially by
countries and not caught in these sites, etc. Some require you to show
travel tickets while others emphatically ask you not to buy them until you
have the visa. And so on.

 You have to check in each case also because country of nationality, of
birth, and of residence may make a difference for any given destination.

 A meatspace-Westphalia border gateway protocol that's hard to digest for
Internet souls.

 Yours,

 Alejandro Pisanty

  On a related subject, is there anywhere that it is clear what exactly you
need to bring with you to get your visa, for the different countries? Some
countries don't need visas in advance, some do - it isn't at all clear to
me; perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place...

Dear Bill,

Thanks for sorting out detailed required list of documents.

Regarding the nature of this request, it is to arrange the pick up for the
forum participants from the airport and ensure the proper planning of
shuttle routes to the accommodation points.

The only issue, causing the misunderstanding was that last email was sent
not intentionally from the computer, which didn’t allow to our staff finish
the email, without subject and the reason of the email.

Again, just to reconfirm, the reason of the latest unfinished email
(request for flight details
and hotels) just for the free pick up from the airport to hotels on arrival
of participants, which we are used to make during the international events.

Again sorry for that, and kindly ask you to disseminate this email around
your friends.

>From our side, the corrected email will be sent to all the attendees again,
on behalf of the Secretariat.

Best Regards,

Nariman

Hello

 Coming on the heels of the passport number disclosure event, concerns

have been expressed by some of the participants who have received the

below message. I would greatly appreciate if the host country could

clarify why flight and hotel information is being collected now, and

whether there will be any further additions to the entry requirements

in the days remaining.

 People are trying to piece together the total picture. Is it correct

that at present the complete inventory of requirements at the airport

entry point is as follows:

 * Conference Registration form

* Visa Application form

* Host Invitation letter (2 copies)

* Signed approval letter from the State Migration Service

* Flight and hotel information

* Two colored photos (3x4cm, in white background)

* Passport or stateless person’s identification card

 Thanks,

 Bill
