VISA arrangement for Mexico conference

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

The XVII International AIDS Conference will be held at Mexico City from 3 to 8

August 2008. Almost 24,000 delegates from around the world are likely to attend

the conference. It is estimated that almost 4000 delegates could be from

countries that do not have a Mexican Consulate.  To ensure efficient visa

processing* with minimal discomfort to the travelers, the Mexican Government and

the conference organizers have sought assistance from UNDP.

UNDP will lend its assistance in the management of delegates` visas. The

delegates now have the option of approaching any UNDP Office (including the

India Office at 55, Lodi Estate, New Delhi-110003) and seek help in visa

processing.

Delegates may also directly contact the Mexican Consulate. The Consulate has

assured issuance of visas without physical presence of the traveler, provided

the passports and the completed visa request forms (including the needed

supporting documents) are presented by UNDP officials.

 At the India office, Ms. Gurleen Kaur has been designated as the Visa Focal

Point. She can be contacted at gurleen.kaur@...  or phone number

+91-11-46532361.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any/all visa management request.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

Jerome Sauvage

* UNDP assistance only includes Visas for Mexico. All transit visas will be

arranged by the delegates themselves.
