Subject: Re: [102attendees] Visa problems - need a different invitation letter

The thai visa thing is mildly hysterical, people dealing with visa here cannot figure out whether “presenting” @ conference conducts business or not. 

Now they want a letter of invitation from Thailand _including my address while in Thailand_ otherwise no visa can be granted by Thai guidelines … 

Is there a way to get a letter of invitation updated where the address of staying in Thailand is provided on it? 

I’ll mail the inviter directly as well … 

thanks

    > Everyone has their own circumstances, but it is really a shame that we (IETF as an organization) can't get a definitive statement from the Thai authorities (i.e. in writing that we can all print & bring) that attending this conference is not considered as "business" by Thailand.  That would save a lot of grief (and same was true for Buenos Aires and will be true for many future IETFs).
    
    This sure would be nice. Just the simple declaration that attending the conference is not considered conducting business would be enough I think.
    
    Thanks,
    Chris.
