We live in an open interconnected world, travelling haven’t been easier than ever but if you travel a lot for job, as I have to do, well you find out that there is something that can really drive you crazy: the VISA on your passport.
The visa, is everything but the sign for an open world. It is a way to put barrier at our borders and controls who can get in and out, but sometimes it is interesting to find how VISA can be difficult to be managed… language barrier, cultural barrier and sometimes organizational issues can make your experience quite painful, even in country that we usually consider friendly.
I am now fighting with the visa for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should be in Riyadh to deliver some training after being in USA for the annual ISF meeting (where I have a speech) of course business time constrain are not aligned with the VISA timing and therefore a business roundtrip can become a painful headache, mostly if, as for my case, you have to deal with some issues by yourself. Well the result is that while I am still trying to find out what I have to do and collect all the documentation my flight plan have to be changed dramatically and so, and this is not making me very happy indeed.
Now I understand why we need specialized structure dealing with visa :).
well I am not sure if I will be able to do all the required trip this time, but worth as a lesson for the future, if you need a visa plan it 3 month in advance because you never know…..
