ELI5: Why is visa free traveling such an important topic for countries when they are negotiating with each other ?
gpt
Applying for a visa requires filling out paperwork before traveling, which needs to be processed by a bureaucrat and approved. This takes time.

For business travel, this is extremely inconvenient. International business deals and meetings can't be easily rescheduled, might be cancelled on a moment's notice, and can't be convened in an emergency.

The automatic visa for passport holders makes it much easier to conduct international business and trade.
