VISA INFORMATION

Obtaining a Visa

It is your responsibility to apply for a passport, visa or any other required documents and to demonstrate to consular officials that you are properly classifiable as a visitor under Singapore law. AAPG cannot assist you with the interview process, nor can anyone representing the sponsoring organizations call an embassy or consulate on your behalf to provide support for granting a visa. Should your application be denied, AAPG can neither intervene in the process nor change the decision of the governmental agency. All expenses connected with obtaining proper documentation are your responsibility. Prior to registering, you may request a letter from AAPG at www.aapg.org/singapore2012/. The letter includes conference information and may be helpful in your visa application.

When registering, you may request an official letter from AAPG online, which includes conference information and clearly states that you are registered for the conference. Whether registering online or using the printed form, check the box “I need a letter for visa purposes.” AAPG supplies this letter for visa purposes only. All expenses involved with attending the convention are your responsibility. If your visa application is denied and AAPG receives a copy of the denial by fax +1 918 560 2684 before 14 September 2012 your registration fee only will be refunded, less a processing charge.
