| Bob This email confuses me - it now seems to imply that a speaker needs a visa. So if I give a presentation at the conference in my task force or industry connections - does this mean I need a visa?

Steve and all
I just got this from the Thai government:
---------------------------------
Please find below information regarding visa to Thailand.
1. Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed all embassies and consulates
worldwide about our event. Please refer to the date
"9/10/2018" in order to apply for a visa to Thailand.
2.Those who hold a passport of countries under tourist visa exemption
scheme, they can enter to Thailand with the purpose of visitor, and this
condition is not applicable for working such as exhibitor, organizer,
speaker etc.
Under this condition those who intend to only attend the conference or
seminar (not working, not exhibiting, not being speaker or not organizing
the event) can enter to Thailand as visitor with tourist visa exemption
scheme.
3. Those, who hold a passport of countries requiring a visa to enter
Thailand as visitor, still need to apply for a visa. They can refer
to the given date and the embassy will facilitate to issue an appropriate
visa.
Your delegate can attach our welcome message with application letter or
hold it when entering to Thailand. This will be a proof that Royal
Thai Government is supporting your event.
Hope this information is helpful. Thanking you all for your
patience.

Hi Steve
We just got the signed commitment/acknowledgement doc back from
IEEE. The was submitted yesterday to the TCEB along with a
follow-up on the status of the embassy code and your question on tourist
visas. As of this morning there was no response, but they are
usually good about getting back so I remain hopeful we will have a bit
more info in the next couple of days.
Cheers
Bob

Bob,
Do we expect to have a document soon stating that our meeting qualifies
for use of a Tourist Visa?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi all
Making good progress on securing endorsed event status for the upcoming
plenary. The TCEB has indicated they will support our meeting pending
completion of one last set of paperwork. We should have that
posting well in advance of the plenary. Likewise, I will post some
recent experiences, in the next week or so, on what to expect on entering
the country. My hope is that will ease some of the concerns that some of
our people have.
Best
