    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    THanks! I am wondering if I need to send at all my passport. THe visa regulations for my home country (Germany) are not completely clear to me. It used to be no visa and now you need an eTan to enter the country. Does that count as a visa? Or is that similar to the visa free travling in the US?
