Now we have less than 20 days left for the conference. As you know, for most of the countries outside EU/USA, VISA is mandatory to enter POLAND.
To apply for a Polish VISA from my country (INDIA), the INVITATION LETTER (in Polish language) addressed to the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland http://www.polishconsulate.com/contact.html in Mumbai is mandatory. (That might be the case with most of the non-EU/USA countries). This INVITATION LETTER need to be faxed directly to Consulate General, and a scanned copy/photo copy of that letter is mandatory along with the VISA application that we submit to the consulate. Otherwise our VISA applications will not be processed by the travel agencies.
*My VISA is not yet processed since I haven't received a copy of this letter. *Could some one please help me (and many other Wikimaninas) regarding this.I am sending this letter to this group since I am not receiving any reply for any of the mails that I sent regarding this.
Kindly remember that the system in many countries will not work as per European/US standards. Considering that this is an international conference, it would be good if there is some one there at the other end who can handle these type of issues.
We are helpless if we are not getting support from the Polish Wikimedians who are organizing this event.

hi,
as far as I understand, this is not about Brasil, but about India. As far as I know, Indians DO need a visa for Schengen - but please correct me if I'm wrong.

What exactly is the bottleneck here? Can't we just get a Polish Wikimedian to write up an invitation letter form and then we could just have Marcin go through, fill out the names/information and sign them?
