I think a little more light is required on the issue mentioned. it not an issue related just the ordinary type of visa .. normally everything transparent about visa rules.. I think here what is mentioned is employment visa.. it is an hot cake in the employment market . it gives wings to the dreams about Arabian castles and hoories . so there are a lot of stake holders and with out their help it is impossible to get your dreams achieved. the first point is the travel agent.. through him the passport office, immigration office, embassy.. if you want to tomorrow.. pay this much... or .. your visa or passport has this problem.. pay this much.. otherwise you can't go... there is a chain of exploitation in this area of course RTI can be used to rectify this ... find out the real problem ...ask PIO of the passport office or immigration or embassy.... if the problem is with the travel agent ask the concerned ministry ( I think it is the ministry of external affairs ) for example... travel agent is overcharging .. ask the ministry what is the stipulated charge.. what is the penalty when overcharging is traced .... rgds sherfudeen

To: rti_in...@yahoogrou ps.com Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 4:58 PM Dear Sir, Visa is a sort of permit issued by a sovereign country which allows a visitor from a foreign country to enter / visit that country. Visa regulations are formulated to regulate the entry of foreign nationals to that country, and it cannot be seen as a sort of control tool for monitoring its usage / compliance in another (foreighn) country, like we seem to be looking for here. If you want to know the details about visa regulations for Saudi Arabia or for that matter any other middle east country, you may better write to Consulate of that country. They will be too happy to apprise you about this. Un-authorised entry of foregners (that is without a proper visa) is a problem viewed seriously by all countries and they all will be too keen and eagre to tell you the requirements about / for visa. --- On Tue, 2/6/09, Helpline Helpline <helplineaurangabad @ yahoo.com> wrote: From: Helpline Helpline <helplineaurangabad @ yahoo.com> Subject: [rti_india] Thanks for reply, Does india have visa law ?

To: rti_in...@yahoogrou ps.com Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 7:30 AM The Consulate of Saudi Arabia is the representative office of Saudi Arabia, a foreign country, and it is not a part of Indian Governance system. As such, they do not fall within the purview of RTI under (Indian) RTI Act. Laws enacted by the legislature of any sovereign country are not applicanle to other countries and/or their representative offfice(s). Accordingly, you cannot file an RTI Application with the Consulate for accessing information under the provisions of an Indian Law. You can, however, write a letter to them requesting them to share with you the information that you are loking for abour the Rules governing issuance of visa for a visit to their country. Most Consulates generally share such basic information( s) with the foreigners / tourists intending to visit theri country.
