Well, I e-mailed and faxed 8 pages to the Consulate General i n Istanbul, to both the visa and cultural affairs department. I have sent:
1. A letter to the consulate asking politely for a speedy procedure;
2. A letter of invitation, stating we will pay for everything, accept full responsibility and will compensate all costs in case our invitee is deported;
3. Flight details and proof of a return flight;
4. Hotel reservation;
5. Information about our organisation, the foundation Street of Sculptures (including all the important names on our recommendation committee);
6. Information about Open Source Amsterdam;
7. List of artists participating in Open Source Amsterdam;
8. Letter of invitation for participation in the project.
I hope this will convince the people at the consulate. Let’s hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
