Dear Karen, and all,

On visas, the following web pages seem to be official:

dear congo folk, and all

Several people are concerned about visas - and i can't find any definitive
information about this on the ITU website, and nothing on the host country
website.

I remember charles geiger mentioned during the CS orientation before prepcom
III, that all Tunisian embassies would be informed to facilitate visas for
civil society etc etc,  - and, that in some cases, visas would be issued on
entry? (this isn't clear to me)

It will be very difficult, if not impossible, for many to travel from one
country, via up to two others , hoping for ease of passage en-route and a visa
on entry in tunisia. Also, some will probably need more than the generic
letter from Amb Karklins on the ITU website

Any help, or a general clarification around visa questions would be greatly
appreciated, particularly:

- access to a list of all countries and what the visa requirements are for the
summit

- whether nationals will be able to travel without a visa, transiting other
countries, with the promise of getting one on entry

- can the WSIS secretariat assist with personalised letters of invitation? (or
will all tunisian embassies accept a copy of the letter on the website with a
copy of the WSIS registration letter>)

thanks a lot
karen
