43rd Annual General Assembly (AGA): The 2010 Interline Celebration
Visas
Unfortunately, due to conflict of interests, the Tourist Board of Pernambuco will not be able to issue invitation letters for visa requests as previously announced. The following procedures will now have to be followed:
Regional V.P.s will send details obtained from Member Clubs on a template to the Interline Club of Portugal (ICP) up to 15 July.
The ICP will issue one letter per template in Portuguese, including the personal data of interliners, and send it to the requesting Club/Member.
Interliners will request their visa with the letter sent by the ICP together with and attached WACA letter providing all the other requested information to the Brazilian authorities.
Taking into account that the Brazilian visa is valid for 90 days, it is recommended to make the application at the beginning of August.
Pre- and Post- AGA Tours
Interliners are advised that the deadline for the pre- and post-AGA tours is now 10 July. There are still a few places available on all tours so do not wait until last minute to guarantee yours!
Post-AGA Tour to the Amazon/Manaus
For interliners who will be returning via SAO: the flight from Manaus will arrive at GRU (International Airport Guarulhos in SAO) at 20:40. Please consider this when making your personal arrangements.
