I support what Lodewijk told. This information may be collected only by WMF staff who signed a contest that this info will not be shared with anyone, otherwise than just statistics without personification. Personal data protection is a very important issue.

Please don't. This is privacy sensitive information that might actually hurt people in future visa applications (for example, in another country). 

If you want to collect such info, I suggest you get someone with the proper privacy clearance with the WMF to collect it, and analyze it.

Can we please not keep this thread dedicated to the discussion that the subject suggests? What European medias has shown and what any individual's belief for any country of the world could be fun to discuss on social media where more people can join. These kind of personal views can hurt feelings of citizens/residents of those countries.

This thread started with the issues faced in getting visa to this year's Wikimania, let us stick to that please.

Thanks,

that’s not a reason to repeat the mistake. If you held an event
(especially such a big one as the Wikimania) in a dictatorship, you
support this dictatorship. You support the suppression of free speech
and other human rights.

And cs, just to quote enwp:

“Since May 2014 Thailand has been ruled by a military junta, the
National Council for Peace and Order, which has partially repealed the
2007 constitution, declared martial law and nationwide curfew, banned
political gatherings, arrested and detained politicians and anti-coup
activists, imposed internet censorship and taken control of the media.”

The conflicts of the yellow- and the red-shirt-people were so bad you
even got reports in European news-programs on TV, and so was the
conflict of the Preah Vihear Temple. So please try not to fool me.

Thailand is surely a great country, but it has many problems
(dictatorship, civil uprisings, corruption, police-corruption, high
number of deaths on road traffic, and so on) that makes it unsuitable
for a conference.

Sincerely,
DaB.
