An invitation letter can be issued if required. You can request an invitation letter as part of the registration process. Please note that visa invitation letters will only be issued to participants who have fully paid their registration fee.

If you already submitted your registration, please login to your registration to request an invitation letter. To do this:

  • Go the online registration platform here
  • Enter your registration confirmation number and email (if you don't have your confirmation number, click the "Forgot your registration number?" link)
  • Select "Modify Registration" button at the bottom of the page. This should take you to the first page of your registration.
  • Just above the "Personal Information" section there is an option to request an invitation letter. Click "Yes" and enter the required information.
  • Click the "Next" button at the bottom of each page until you get to the final registration page, then click "Submit". Please make sure you do this or your changes will not be saved.

A visa letter will be sent to you within three business days of submitting your request, provided your registration fee has been paid.

You are advised to apply for your visa as soon as possible.

The 7th Global Forum Organizers cannot assist with the formalities or process of obtaining a visa, beyond issuing an invitation letter.

Please note that providing an invitation letter does not guarantee that a visa will be granted, nor does it impose any financial obligation on the Organizers. All costs associated with participating in the conference are the responsibility of the participant.
