-1. I think the IETF/IAOC job for planning locations was and should include these considerations. I would expect that Argentina was also selected based on the expecation that everybody could get a visa and mot folks don't even need one. And i very much i am proven wrong to worry that this might not be the case. But this is the second country where i can not find on their website an authoritative statment whether i would need a visa or not. All i have is one website in german that claims i need to. The recommendation made by someone on this thread to not get a visa and then declare at immigrations what i want to do (attend IETF conference) and then risk the chance of a "oh, you'd needed a business visa for that" is IMHO not sane business ravel planning. Neither is lying. I can do that all day long on private travel, but not when i expect an employer to pay for the trip. And when i do not want to ensure that i do not get a 24 hour roundtrip flight. [rant] My data point why i worry is simple: I went to india last week to meet colleagues. Now India has this new e-tourist visa process. Simple, online, uncomplicated. As opposed to their normal visa process which changes every year, and which last time had me standing in line in a consulate forever just to be then sent back with "oh, as a non US-citizen you can not come in person to deliver your paperwork" (2014) And finally i had to give up on a planned 2014 trip because i couldn't find the time to give up my passport for three weeks. So this year, i called up the consulate phone line and got no precise answer about e-Tourist visa for a "business" trip, but rather something like "oh, well, if you want, get a visa". So i asked around in my company whether i could/should use that e-visa process and everybody i asked said that it is a risk to do that because they might turn you around at immigrations in Bangalore. As opposed to the real visa where thats never (from their memory) happened. And alas, i know someone who arrived 2AM in bangalore from a 9 hour trip and got turned around (no visa) into the 4AM machine flying back. Fun trip (not). The airlines are even forced to always keep a seat empty to accomodate for that situation. And if there are two folks, and the plane is otherwise full, you go to detention until the next plane.
