    • 2009 January 13, Cade Metz, "Sun MySQLers barred from Oz", in The Register [1] , archived from the original on 17 June 2020:
      Several Sun MySQLers have been denied short stay business visas to Australia - yes, Australia - as they attempted to attend a Linux conference in Hobart, Tasmania. According to a blog post from Kaj Arno, vice president in charge of "database community" at Sun Microsystems, several employees - many of whom worked with MySQL - have been barred from entering Oz.
    • 2016, James S. Kessler, Echoes of Empire:
      However, I couldn't continue by land to Georgia, as I would have liked: Russia still maintains its crazy, Sovietesque visa regulations, which makes getting a transit visa extremely difficult and extremely expensive.
    • 2020 June 23, Ushma S. Neill, "The hidden health cost of Trump’s visa freeze", in CNN [2] :
      The impact would be smaller in the immediate term given that the Trump proclamation allows existing visa holders to remain in the US, but still, at MSK around 100 new scientific and medical trainees this year would not be allowed to commence their research.

Etymology

[edit ]

From Proto-Finnic *visa ("hard?"). Cognate with Estonian visa , Karelian visa and Livonian vizā . The original adjective "hard, difficult, demanding" is now exclusively found in dialects (and some derivations, like visakoivu ); the modern sense "quiz" is a backformation of visailla , itself derived from that adjective.
