Visa application procedures for entering many countries, and in particular the UK, have become stricter and more complex following recent terrorist activities, and therefore it can take much longer to process your application than anticipated. You can find useful information HERE. You must submit your own application to the relevant authority and follow up accordingly. TCT is unable to follow up your application on your behalf or enter into direct correspondence with consulates. A Visa Support Letter will ONLY be issued to speakers and attendees who have paid their conference registration fee in full. Once we have confirmed receipt of payment from the proposed attendee we will need the full name, nationality, passport number, expiry date and date of birth for the attendee, only then can we issue a Visa Support Letter.The Visa Support Letter will confirm the conference title, date and location. It will also confirm whether the individual is an speaker or attendee. It will not imply any undertaking to provide funding nor act as financial guarantee for your stay in the UK. TCT reserves the right not to issue a Visa Support Letter in certain cases even if above conditions have been met. Conference Fees will not be refunded in the case of a Visa not being obtained.
