Warning signWarning: With effect from 1st September 2023, the Mozilla Reps program was closed and activities ended.

More than 900 Mozilla volunteers will be attending Mozilla's Summit 2013, which will take place on October 4 - 6, 2013 in Brussels, Belgium / Santa Clara, USA / Toronto, Canada.

Many Mozillians will need to apply for a visa in order to travel to the Summit. Applying for a visa involves some expenses like processing fees, travel to/from the nearest consulate/embassy and courier services (if passeport needs to be mailed to the consulate/embassy).

In order for Mozillians to get reimbursed these fees, a reimbursement request can be made through the Mozilla Reps budget request process.

List of visa expenses that are reimbursed

  • visa processing fees
  • public transport to/from consulate or embassy
  • courier service (fedex or ups) to mail passeport


NB: reimbursed cannot be processed if receipts are NOT provided

Step 3: inform the Rep once you have successfully received the funds.
