I think there needs to be some mention of requirements such as:

An important factor worth stressing, IMHO, is the time required to apply
for & issue a visitor visa suitable for a short-term visit. If the time
required isn't predictable in advance and measureable in small numbers
of months, that itself is a barrier to participation.
But I might back off on a hair on the phrasing -- "several
participants"?
Let's be realistic -- we're talking about government bureaucracy here.
Is there any country out there which doesn't occasionally "randomly"
deny or significantly delay granting a visitor visa? A single incident
ought not to preclude us from returning. A pattern of exclusion, on the
other hand, would be a matter of concern.
