The Global South 2010 Conference will be officially registered so that all South African missions abroad will be authorized to issue visas to delegates attending the conference. Upon conference registration and proof of payment, the Global South 2010 Conference Secretariat will issue Letters of Invitation on request, which may assist with the obtainment of a South Africa visa.
