Agreed. I was mostly noting that "the visa requirement for those countries were a formality" is one hell of a formality when it's multiple days and hundreds of dollars of travel.

It's also worth noting that those "few hundred dollars" represent about half of an average monthly salary for people in those countries.... so, the real cost of getting a visa for people in those countries is much higher in the end.
