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

+1. Remote participation is starting to look remarkably attractive. And I live in a capital city.

That looks like a significant impediment to getting the required visa.

I’ll be making my own flight arrangements so no issue there.

Considering both hotel and flight information is required for the Conference Visa, and Constituency Travel usually defines the hotel just a week before the conference, this edition will likely be a lot of fun for councillors relying on ICANN funding.

    Council Colleagues -

    Please note the announcement & blog post below.  In most cases,
    attendees will need a “Conference Visa” for ICANN57 Hyderabad, and
    an “eTourist" Visa may not be accepted for entry to India.  ICANN
    has also provided a link to request an Invitation Letter.

    Thanks—

    J.

    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@xxxxxxxxx)
    <mailto:icann57visasupport@xxxxxxxxx%29> 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.
