Please note that we are not able to arrange visas for participants. We advise all participants to check with the nearest host country embassy whether or not a visa is needed. If you are likely to need a visa, we recommend that you make your application as soon as possible. To help you, once you have registered and paid to attend, we can issue a letter which confirms that you have registered and paid to participate in the conference. If you need a letter, please email CLOAKING for assistance.

We recognise that some participants are only able to apply for funds to attend the conference once. In order to assist you in this, you are invited to submit your registration as soon as possible. Please tell us in your accompanying email that you are submitting early because you need a visa. We will then endeavour to complete the conference material for 2 weeks of receiving your submission and hope that this will then give you sufficient time to obtain funding, register and pay to attend and apply for the visa.

In the event that your visa application is refused, we will refund registrations fees paid in excess of $300. In this event, the paper will still be published in the conference proceedings and you will receive an electronic copy of the proceedings.
