<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">Heads up on the IGF 2014 participation. Government of Turkey has confirmed courtesy visas for all.</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">They will however need you to apply at your local Turkish Embassy/ Mission in person.</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">The letter confirming your paticipation at the IGF and the visa support letter will entitle you to the visa application fee waiver ( Courtesy Visa).</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">Hope to see you all in large numbers at the IGF. Thanks Bill for raising the issue.Glad to see that this story has a happy ending.</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">In addition to the Visa we'd also put out a call to raise funding support for civil society and academia participants. Most major organisations are past their application deadlines. But this is a shout out to all CS networks and donors to pool resources and assist others. Large universities and grant making bodies included, through travel grants/fellowships. Even if you can do part funding it will amplify CS participation.</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">Given the fact that we are close to the #post2015 agenda we must be present physically in large nos. Though we have remote participation, there's nothing like being there.</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">This year there's also a designated Open space which allows for greater engagement and informal spontaneous discussions.</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">I'd also like to see greater synergies between different networks in amplyfying support for each other and becoming enablers. ( Just my Santa wishlist).</div>
<div style="" class="" dir="ltr">If possible donors could volunteer then co-cos could maybe match the receipients organically with donors off-list. I am aware of many worthy participants/ experts and new comers who would add tremendous value by being there. Let's try and do all that we can to facilitate their presence-Our presence at the IGF.</div>

In this respect, we encourage you to apply Turkish embassies and consulates directly for visa. IGF Registration Confirmation Letter will be enough to get visa without fee according to a communique issued by Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs dated 21/07/2014 Ref No. KVUD/6749221.<br style="" class="">

The previous hosts have been able to successfully set up kiosks at the IGF venues and reimburse participants the cost towards the visa application fee. It is a positive gesture and deserves all attempts at prolongation and continuity.<br style="" class="">
