Dear friends,... ... very good news from the front of italian visas obtainment: for these things we must thank Michele Foffano, President in AEGEE Treviso. He worked a lot for the Carnival event in Venezia and Treviso, and after a long effort he obtained visas for Ukranian, Romanian, Belarus partecipants. SAnd he obtained them because he found a the right procedure for a productive contact with Italian Consulates in Kyiv, in Bucuresti, in Minsk. He explaned me this procedure and he asked I diffuse on AEGEE lists. Thank you, Michele! Pay attention, please, friends! Particulary board-members of Italian AEGEE locals! 1) Send all this material to the Italian CONSULATE by fax: I - A copy of the PASSPORT of the Responsible of the event or of the President of the local. II - A PERSONAL (for each partecipant) invitation letter, written in ITALIAN. III - A presentation of AEGEE and of your local, written in ITALIAN. IV - A presentation and an explanation of the event, written in ITALIAN. V- A complete and rich programme of the event, realized in ITALIAN. VI - The address in Italy of the partecipants needing visas and their telephone number. VII - If it's possible, a presentation letter of your University. 2) Call the Italian CONSULATE some days after you have sent the fax at 8.30 in the morning. Pay attention! 8.30 for the Consulate, not for you! Then you must phone at 7.30 in the morning! If you call later you won't be able to contact them. When you'll talk with the Consulate, ask for a confirmation, explane an other time the project, ask info and ... remain praying! 3) All these things must be done at least 50 days before the event, for a SU, if it's possible, also before! That's all. With all thewse things Michele obtained visas. We must try in same way. An other thank to Michele Foffano, and see all of you soon! Bye!
