An initiative for visa-free travelling

Dear Mr Prime Minister

1. Everyone has the right to freedom of move and residence within the borders of each state.

2. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - ICCPR - Article 12

This is an initiative for an international organization for visa-free travelling, free move from one country to another and removal of all visa red-tape, restrictions and bans.

It is to become an independent world-wide organization aiming at visa-free condition, conducting information on affairs related to visa restrictions.

It should aim at complete abolition and removal of:

exit restrictions imposed by state authorities and all forms of requirements of exit permits, political and ideological obstacles, duty to apply for a visa or permit before entry, restrictions imposed on political grounds or as a form of sanctions, bureaucratic obstacles, charges and payments for granting passports, visas and other documents, various red-tape bureaucratic requirements as e.g. invitation, funds possession , proof of taking time off employment, preliminary proof of no penal records (for ordinary visits) and others, punishments for illegal entry, exit or travelling to an 'ineligible' country, requirements of inland permits - for travelling to another region

The further campaigns & activities should include, but not be limited to :

support visa-free travelling as well as visa-free treaties, effort to liberate the imprisoned in connection with the imposed restrictions, universal information on visa conditions and formalities, overcome absurd situations and unpleasant interferences with private life in connection with the practise of visa red-tape, aiming at universal resolutions and a U.N. multilateral convention on visa-free travel and movement, freedom of changes of residence and citizenship,

Sincerely
