Flights will be provided by EPF and will be booked through TravelPerk. TravelPerk is the platform we use to book travel without cost to the person booking. The EF has fairly small flight allowances through TravelPerk, so most flights will need to have a review requested. Request your flight at a reasonable average price (use Google Flights search to find what the average flight costs), and they will be approved.
An invitation to the TravelPerk platform is should be hitting your inbox by Sept 7.
EPF Fellows will be staying at the Point Hotel Taksim. Lodging is available from November 11-20.
Figure out if you will need a visa ASAP. Most visas can be acquired through the e-visa program website. If you NEED financial assistance securing your visa, please reach out via Discord DM.
The Ethereum Foundation can assist in providing you with a visa invitation letter, if needed. In order to receive an invitation, fill out this form.
