Case Study
A country with a history of corruption and bribery has made great efforts via
education and prosecution to conduct government business in an open and fair
way. The country has made considerable progress. As part of its reform, the
country overhauled its visa procedures for foreigners wanting to live in the
country. In the previous corrupt environment, people with money would secretly
pay off a government employee to have their visa application approved quickly,
while other visa applications took much longer. Now the government has made
the application procedure transparent and established a new procedure in law.
The new procedure offers two visa tracks, the “Regular Track”, which does not
require any payment, and the “Premium Track”, which requires a US $10,000
payment. The Regular Track takes just as long to process a visa application as
an application without a bribe took before the reforms. The Premium Track
moves along just as quickly as a visa application with a bribe took before the
reforms. Most people wanting to immigrate to the country cannot afford the
Premium Track.
