Right. A tourist VISA should probably be good and easy to obtain. Most
Indians when traveling to GUADEC or other conferences go for a tourist
or business VISA, never for a conference VISA.

And the Embassy in each country has different policies. So if you could
let us know what exact documents a tourist/business VISA needs, we'll
provide those documents and invite letters.

Also I am collecting more details about the VISA needed. I'll have them
posted on the site once I get the details.
