Peters, During last call, I said exactly what you are arguing for, but some colleagues opposed saying even a document from the host country telling that an entry visa will be provided upon arrival will not be enough. They said they have previous sad experiences.

One countries where DIRECT FLIGHTS are possible from host countries do not need transit visas. Secondly, there are a lot of foreign airlines that take passnegers to other countries other their own (airline's countries) and do not require TRANSIT visas to take passengers via their own country to these countries. For example, if I were to fly to China with Emmirates, I do not need a transit visa to United Arab Emmirates to be taken to China-supposing China were to give me an entry visa at their Port of Entry, as slong as there is an official document from the Columbia Forign Affairs Ministry. The time to start this preparation is NOW. * Pastor Peters OMORAGBON Executive President/CEO Nurses Across the Borders Humanitarian Initiative-Inc.-(Nigeria & U.S.A) An NGO On Special Consultative Status with The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations-(ECOSOC) Member(OBSERVER),United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) URL: www.nursesacrosstheborders.org <http://www.nursesacrosstheborders.org/> * NABHI as affiliate of the United Nations is poised to uphold the TENETS of the CHARTERS of the UN.
