Re: Argentina with tourist visa ?

Jari,

Thanks in advance to you and the IAOC for following up on this.  It
probably makes sense for a global organization to dedicate a web page as
part of the meeting site to explain visa requirements in a way that is
easily digested by participants.  It's good that you have a "visa
information" link, but simply pointing off to a government web site was
clearly not sufficient in this case.  I also know that the IAOC does
consider visa requirements.  I also know that Ray and the team already
often intercede with governments on behalf of members who are having
trouble getting in.  All of that's great. 

It might help if the team worked with those governments in advance to
clarify in particular what class of visa to enter on, what must be done
in advance by whom, and how long one can reasonably expect the
processing times to be.  These are questions that someone from the
foreign ministry of a country should be able to answer, with the
understanding that they are non-normative guidance, as circumstances can
change.
