> Countries in registration list for DebConf6 whose nationals require a > visa to visit the UK: >
> INDIA I should mention that the only registered attendant of DC6 who is a citizen of India (Guntupalli Karunakar) had a very bad experience of UK visas as his one was refused for a *transit* in UK, which finally prevented him to attend DC6. I guess there was some lack of preparation on his side (he admits it) but this raises the need for a very careful preparation of visas for the people who might need some. UK seems very keen for issuing visas, at least for some originating countries. I don't doubt that the local team for Edinburgh would be able to help solving these issues out. The main point is that one should not leave people alone with their visas problems. People who need visas will most of the time need very early preparation, invitation letters and probably most often, funding in advance. Let's face it: I'm afraid that "our" western european countries are not the most welcoming in the world.....when it comes at foreign countries which are a potential source of immigration. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
