Switzerland is the best current example of direct democracy, using both initiative and referendum. In the initiative process, citizens gather petitions to force an election (referendum) on a proposed law. In Switzerland over the last 120 years, about 240 issues have been put to referendum, only about 10% have gained approval. At lower levels, referenda only require a majority of voters to pass, but at the national level, both a majority of voters and a majority of voting states are required. This prevents states with small populations from being unfairly represented. The Swiss got the idea of double majority from the US Congress, which has both the House of Representatives (representation proportional to population of each state) and the Senate (same representation for each state)

Depends on which country you are from. If you are a citizen of certain places, like in North or South America (except Belize, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Peru), Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand you can stay for up to 90 days with just a passport. In general, when you are wondering the maximum number of days on a tourist visa or eligibility you should check with the website of the Consulate General of the country you want to visit, for the country you are from.

You can get a visa from atime period of 1 month - to 6 months. It depends on the consulate rules in the country you live in now.
