I +1 Doraemon! The idea of writing "invitation letter", i wonder if that *really * is support for acquiring a visa. A letter is simply a letter and I wonder how that affects the processing of the visa. If Wikimania offers the invitation letter *only *and the the individuals works on the application and everything relating to its acquisition, I wonder how the Wikimania calls it visa application support.
Personally, I think the letter issue doesn't work, at least from the part of the world i come from. rexford On Monday, October 1, 2012, Doraemon wrote: > > Actually, a Hong Kong visa can be applied from Hong Kong Immigration > Department by POST directly, even there's no Chinese embassy in your city, > or there's something trouble with Chinese embassy. > > Please refer > http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/**id1004.htm<http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/id1004.htm> > > You may print out the PDF application form, fill it and attach necessary > document such as passport COPIES, mail to Hong Kong directly. > > Note: > 1.
