Question:

I will need an invitation letter for my visa application. Will this be provided by SIGOS?

Answer:

From previous experience please let us point out that early registration is essential if you require an invitation letter for your visa application. It has occurred before that registered participants were unable to attend and charged cancellation fee just because of late visa application! Therefore please ensure to register as soon as possible!
Please note that we send out requested visa invitation letters only as soft copy. If you need a hard copy, please understand that you will have to bear postage expenses.

The invitation letter can be requested during the registration process. You will have to have your passport information in front of you.
