There are places in the world where getting a visa to visit is a bit difficult, which is understandable, but you still want to get the visa because they are great places to visit eg the USA (security checks), Japan (illegal workers checks) and Pakistan. Yes Pakistan. Getting a visa takes a week, so your passport is stuck for a week. It's amazing as when you got to the Pakistan embassy in KL or Singapore, it's sepulchral. Like they are soooo busy.
There are probably hordes waiting to visit cos the country's got great beaches, fantastic nightlife, great food and wine. Uh huh. And they typically issue a 3 month validity only, with 1 week stay. Come on. Now you know why "Visit Pakistan year 2007" was doomed to failure from day one. Bureaucracy. As a comparison, Australia, which btw does have great beaches etc etc, you can get the visa done online, immediate, one year validity, 90 day stay, multilple entries. Sigh.....
