[Wikimania-l] Transit Visas

[Christian Becker]

Hi,
I think this should be clearly communicated to all registrants - not  
sure how many are subscribed here.
As far as transit through the US is concerned, almost all  
nationalities(!) require a visa or visa waiver (mandatory pre- 
registration!).
More details here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_4383.html

Cheers,

Christian
