In collaboration with our clients, we prepare invitation letters and guide delegates through eVisa and eTA applications, so nobody misses the conference because of paperwork. Our staff meet guests at the airport and assist them through immigration. We negotiate hotel room blocks and manage every accommodation reservation, from the first booking to check-out.

Our scope includes

  • Invitation letters: We work with you to prepare invitation letters for delegates who need them for their visa applications.
  • eVisa and eTA guidance: We guide delegates through the entry requirements and online application process for the host country.
  • Airport and immigration assistance: Our staff meet guests at the airport and assist them through immigration.
  • Hotel room blocks: We negotiate room blocks with hotels near the venue, at rates agreed for your event.
  • Accommodation reservations: We manage every hotel reservation, including rooming lists, changes and cancellations, up to arrival.

Frequently asked questions

Can you prepare invitation letters for visas?

Yes. We work with you to prepare invitation letters for delegates who need them for their visa applications.

Do delegates need a visa or an eTA to travel to Kenya?

Most African nationals, apart from citizens of Somalia and Libya, can visit Kenya without an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). Most other visitors apply for an eTA online before they travel. We guide delegates through the current requirements for their nationality, and our Nairobi conference guide has more detail.

Can you help with entry requirements in other African countries?

Yes. We guide delegates through the eVisa or entry requirements of the host country wherever your conference takes place.

When should delegates start their visa or eTA application?

As early as possible. We recommend that delegates apply as soon as they have registered and booked their travel.
