Re: [guadec-local] Visa letters

[Oliver Propst <oliver propst gmail com>]

Right so its the swedish embassy and consulates are handling visa
requests from China not Migrationsverket. Which embassy depends on
which region in China person is a resides of, some more details about
this are available here [1]

I suggest we compose a standard invitation  letter with info about the
event, dates etc add a contact person and let a person within the
foundation who have experience reading invitation letters review it.

Anyone who wants to contact swedish embassy's and or consulates in
China to ask more specific questions about this, are very welcome to
do so. The person I spoke with at Migrationsverket did not think there
was any liabilities imposed on anyone involved.
