Re: [STDS-802-11] 802_1122_November 2022 IEEE 802 Plenary Registration -- tourist visa exemption scheme

--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---

Traveling To/From Bangkok, Thailand

Please take the steps to determine if you require a visa to attend a particular IEEE 802 Meeting. The requirements change from time to time. Because of this, we strongly urge all attendees to review the entry requirements for traveling to each IEEE 802 meeting location and determine for themselves, or in collaboration with their employer, what if any travel documentation is required.

A brief introduction to Thailand travel information can be found under Health and Safety at: https://cvent.me/0Vk4Qq

With respect to Visa’s it is IEEE’s recommendation that attendees confirm their personal requirements with their local governing authorities.

While of course the ultimate responsibility lies with each attendee,

it would be helpful if the IEEE could provide assistance for this

meeting.  In particular, last time I think information was eventually

obtained by the IEEE from the Thailand Conference and Event Bureau to

the effect that entry into Thailand for the sole purpose of attending

the IEEE meeting was covered by Thailand's tourist visa exemption scheme.

Unfortunately this information came too late, given the timescales for

applying for a visa, so I at least had timed out and obtained a visa

(I think some other attendees did take the chance).

 

I therefore request that the IEEE and/or the meeting organisers liaise

with the utmost urgency with the Thailand Conference and Event Bureau

or equivalent body to obtain and relay their advice regarding current

applicability of the tourist visa exemption scheme to the meeting.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
