What visa team can do for you?

Visa

1. Delegate visa application consultation

Delegates may need to go for visa in person or with one representative; we can provide some information and solve your problems.

2. Government negotiation

Many visa issues are related to national security, so the regulations are sometimes inflexible. Visa team will try to negotiate with the government if you encounter difficulties when applying.

(The rules in visa application guideline book is provided by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, R.O.C, so sometimes it’s hard to break the rule even we want to help delegate.)

3. Invitation Letter and confirmation provider

Every delegate will receive their invitation letter and confirmation after AI and MCP approval from Visa team. We also still deal with emergency cases like delegates who need pre-approval for visa application due to his/her schedule for being a foreign MC.

Many Delegates may have already got their visa, so we need every delegate do us a favor!
