Re: Help us find a location for Akademy 2019
Hey folks :) It'd be awesome if you could help us spread the word more about this. We could still use a few more proposals. Thinking about hosting Akademy? Get in touch with us. We're happy to answer questions you might have. There is about a week left to indicate your interest. Full proposals have a bit more time.

It will only say that it covers accomodation if KDE eV sponsors your travel. If you are from a country that needs a VISA for Schengen and doesn't give out tourist visas without much hassle and you think an invitation letter might help you then this information about "how to get an invite letter" may be relevant to you.

Re: Akademy 2018 Visa Invitations Batch #3
Hi Stefan, I don't understand how this invitation helps in the visa process. 1. If this invitation is from an enterprise and it does not cover your flights/accomodation, then your are required to book that before applying for the business visa, right? 2. If this invitation is from a citizen and it does not say that the guest stays in his/her home, then the same. Sounds like a regular tourist's visa requires the same amount of paperwork. 2018-06-08 18:32 GMT+03:00 Stefan Derkits : > Hello, > > as we just finished processing Batch #2 of the Visa Invitation Letters, > we wanted to give you all a deadline for Batch #3. > > So if you still need a Visa Invitation and want to get it before end of > June, please send us all the needed data until: > Tuesday, 19.06. 12:00 pm CEST (Berlin/Vienna Time) > > How to request a Visa Invitation Letter: > * Send your request for an invitation to akademy-team at kde.org, Subject: > "Visa Invitation Request" > * In the request, we need the following data: > ** Full Name > ** Full Address > ** Country of Origin > ** Passport Number > ** Date of Birth > ** wether you are a sponsored attendee or not > ** Arrival & Departure Date > > See you in Vienna, > Stefan > -- Alexander Potashev
