We recommend that you download the Rigas Satiksme app, which is available on both iOS and Android. You can purchase a 5-day ticket for €10, which allows you unlimited use of buses and trams operated by Rīgas satiksme.

We can then prepare a letter of invitation for you to present at your visa application appointment.

For those in Africa, the nearest visa processing centre is in Cairo, Egypt.

Finally, if you would like to make a financial donation, you can do so by visiting our Donorbox page.

Sadly, as per our refund policy in the registration website, we are unable to offer any refunds unless we cancel our conference. This is because we have to make payments in advance for the conference, and we use the number of registered attendees to make these commitments. However, we are able to arrange for you to swap your registration payment with a different named individual who hasn’t yet paid if you are already in contact with them.
