Reimbursements: Some of you are required to either pay entry fees or visa fees to enter the country. We would also like to reimburse you the transport costs between the airport and the hotel. Here is the process for being reimbursed those fees:

Email your receipt(s) and PayPal account email address to Peiying
If you do not have a PayPal account and need reimbursement, please notify Peiying as soon as possible.

Please note that transport and visa fees are all that we're able to reimburse.

Notifying your employer/school about the event

If you need a letter from Mozilla to provide to your employer or school to request time off to attend this event, please let Arky know and we'll provide you with that letter.

Please note that these letters MUST stay at home and not accompany you to India. They will cause unnecessary complications with your entry into the country.

Bring a hard copy of your travel document, such as flight booking confirmation, Hotel and eVisa. Some countries do not allow passenger enter the airport at departure without a physical printout of your flight booking info. Showing it on cellphone or an e-Reader would not work.
