To cope with this challenge, the Organizing Committee will consult with the competent government agency of the hosting country to discuss the most appropriate visa application trajectory, but is not able to guarantee that visas will be granted. The Congress Organizing Committee, will assist participants in the visa process by providing official invitation letters. 

For budgetary reasons, travel will not be booked unless a valid visa has been obtained.
