Hi, on wikimedia-gh there was a discussion about money needs in the bank account of people for getting a visa to attend wikimania. As the interested persons usually are students this might pose a problem. Do you have any plans how to deal with it?

Hi, at least in Germany it works if You have a person or an entity who acts as a guarantor for somebody. Maybe the Foundation could do so or taking in account that there are not based in UK it would have to be WMUK.
