| VISA APPLICATION PROCESS Since it is becoming increasingly more difficult to get visas to different countries, we must institute the following rules which will apply to all groups wishing to attend the World Martial Games who will require a VISA. (To attend a World Martial Games in all country's, there are certain visa requirements for certain countries. ) 1). You must submit a Letter of Intention to participate (via email or post) and request for Official Invitation. a). Letter must include list of names of all persons traveling, whether they are competitors, coaches, guests, family members, etc., their birthdates, and ages, along with their passport numbers. 2). The Federation, Instructor, competitors, coaches, Team, etc. must pre-register and pre-pay for the event before we can assist with the Visa Process with the Visa Departmant and Embassy. Also pre-registration is required to receive the discounted entry fee. a). The funds must be in the form of a Money Order, Certified Int'l Bank Cheque, Credit Card or via Western Union, all payable in U.S. Currency. drawn on a U.S. bank. 3). Details from a registered travel Agency regarding Arrival and Departure Dates, confirmed reservations for flights and deposits paid on flights. 4). Confirmation of payment of Accommodation reservations (in advance) or deposits paid. WOMAA cannot guarantee your reservations, or air travel. You must do this through a travel agency. Sidekick Travel can help you, but you will need a credit card for the fees. 5). All information must be received by WOMAA Hdqtrs prior to assisting with VISA Process. You will be issued the official invitation immediately upon request, but for assistance with VISA process, all of the above requrements must be made. 6).
