Hello, <div><br></div><div>UK confirmed it will collect in cash, 3k pounds from citizens from what she calls &#39;High Risk&#39; countries including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ghana. </div><div><br></div><div>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?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m raising this issue early because for at least, two consecutive times, persons from Ghana couldn&#39;t make it to a Wikimania, all because of visa-related issues in different forms.</div><div><br>
</div><div>I&#39;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.</div><div><br></div><div>Can I say, persons from these countries are practically banned from next years event?</div>
