Hello,
UK confirmed it will collect in cash, 3k pounds from citizens from what she calls 'High Risk' countries including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ghana.
In case persons from these countries should apply for the conference (of which some will definitely) next year, will they have to pay this sum themselves?
I'm raising this issue early because for at least, two consecutive times, persons from Ghana couldn't make it to a Wikimania, all because of visa-related issues in different forms.
I'm sure the WMUK knows of this policy from the Immigration of UK, and I wish to find out what their thoughts about it are.
Can I say, persons from these countries are practically banned from next years event?
thank you
