Hi, Invitation letter not from the govt won't guarantee a approval at least from our end,
Hi Gunesh,
at the moment its only india/bangladesh and sri lanka. Several of them had came to Malaysia earlier for Mozilla AsiaCamp, and they said they only need an invitation letter. I can ask from them for a sample from the Mozilla AsiaCamp.
IMO, unless they are having problem to apply with just invitation letter, I dont see the need to request for letter of good conduct. When they are having trouble, then maybe we go for this route, mainly because:
* The process requires us to coordinate to request for details from those involved. * It incurs additional cost
What normally was done would be to get the entire list of contributors, apply them as a whole & with the govt cert, it would be easier for them. Remember their country would need to look at it as well, countries like Pakistan for e.g. might have some issues. An invitation letter would only suffice when theres adequate referrals. I recommend this as we have ample time to coordinate, else best to stick with an invitation letter for 2-3 days stay.
