Hi,
Could you please share the email address for Visa related queries? If an
Indian citizen is traveling to Hong Kong for Wikimania there is a need of
an invitation letter from the Wikimania Committee. Could you please reply
with the contact email address for the visa related communication?

Best!

Hello organizing team!
The schedule page says that there are tours planned for the first two days?
Could we know details of this? The link is still red.
I'm asking because I guess most of us would stay a few extra days after (or
before) the conference to have some sightseeing in HK, but if there are
organized tours, too, would be nice to know what places they include so we
can plan ahead and not include parts of the city in our remaining extra
days that we would visit anyway with the tour.
Thanks in advance :)
Timea
Thank you for advice.
But as you know just one month remained to Wikimania. So it is highly
desirable to confirm accommodation as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Elgun Ataliyev.

Please use your local travel agency instead, since they know better about
the requirements of the consulate than we do. And don't wait for us if the
travel agency says an invitation letter isn't needed.

You'll get payment instructions once your accommodation is confirmed. This
may take a while as we arrange dorm rooms.

I want any kind of paper that can be used as proof of the proposed visit to
Hong Kong, as it's stated in "Guidebook for Entry for Visit/Transit in Hong
Kong". Or maybe you can advise me another way?
And is the receiving of application ensures a reservation? I want to pay
for a dormitory as soon as possible and not to worry about it.
Sincerely,
Elgun Ataliyev.

Dear Calvin,
Thank you for quick response and immediate solution of the problem. My
registration confirmed.
But what about invitation letter and accommodation? Every time when I try
to register for dorm accommodations I receive an e-mail saying that application
for accommodation received. And that's it.
Sincerely,
Elgun Ataliyev.

Hi guys.
I have paid registration fee few days ago. on the registration page it
asked me to pay 58 US dollars instead of 79, maybe because I was registered
few months ago but has not paid fee at the time.
But problem is that after the successful payment process in the
registration website it says that I have not paid fee. But it appears in my
credit card account.
Here are screen shots of receipt for payment from PayPal and Registration
Form where it wants me to pay again.
Can someone check it and solve the problem? Because time is limited to
apply for visa.
Thank you for attention.
Elgun Ataliyev.
