[council] [Soac-infoalert] ICANN57 Hyderabad: What You Need to Know (Part 2) - ICANN

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

I also received both letters, but the host letter is addressed to someone other than me. I asked for a replacement, and hope to get it soon.

Thanks.

Amr

>> Further to my blog<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann57-hyderabad-what-you-need-to-know> on 25 July 2016, I would like to share details on visa applications to assist all who are attending ICANN57 Annual General Meeting in Hyderabad with your travel planning.
>> 
>> We have worked extensively with the India government to ensure a clear and smooth process for all Indian visa applications. They have also assured us that all ICANN57 visa applications will be treated as priority.
>> 
>> All delegates requiring visas to India should visit here<http://www.mea.gov.in/indian-missions-abroad.htm> to find the nearest India diplomatic mission to apply for your visa. You must apply for a Conference Visa. Please refer to the guide<https://meetings.icann.org/en/hyderabad57/visa-application-guide-india> we have put together for reference. Apply early as the process could take up to two weeks. You will also need invitation letters<https://invitationletters.icann.org/> from ICANN and the local host, which may take another two weeks to generate.
>> 
>> Do take note that the e-Tourist Visa will not be applicable for our ICANN meeting. Any traveler trying to enter India with the e-Tourist Visa may be denied entry. If you have an existing valid Business Visa, you need not apply for the Conference Visa.
>> 
>> We have set up a dedicated email (icann57visasupport at icann.org)<mailto:icann57visasupport at icann.org)> that you can contact should you need any further clarification about the visa.
>> 
>> Remember to register<https://registration.icann.org/register.php?id=Hyderabad57> for ICANN57 and check our meeting site<https://meetings.icann.org/en/hyderabad57> for regular updates. Lastly, don't forget to attend the webinar on 7 September 2016 (1500 UTC) where we will share more information on ICANN57, logistics, accommodations and travel. Look out for our announcement and join us then.
