Oral Presentations
All technical session speakers are required to respond to the "Oral Presenter Questions" on the Abstract Manager website. Note: No pre-recorded or virtual presentation options are available this year. All presentations must be given on site in Namibia.
We encourage you to include the SEG 2024 logo in your presentation slides.
Important Visa Information
Please be aware of recent changes in Namibian Government and Home Affairs regulations:
A Business/Short Term Employment Permit is now mandatory for exhibitors, oral speakers, field trip and workshop leaders attending SEG 2024. Poster and speed talk presenters are exempt from this requirement.
To streamline this process, SEG has coordinated with the Geoscience Council of Namibia and Namibian Home Affairs. As an oral speaker, you should have already received an email from secretary@geocouncil.org.na requesting your passport details to issue an invitation letter.
If you have not received this email, please contact Wilka at secretary@geocouncil.org.na immediately to request your invitation letter. The typical processing time for these visas is approximately 1-2 weeks.
Steps to Apply for an e-Visa
- Once you have received your invitation letter, visit the following link to apply online: Namibian e-Visa Application.
- Prepare the following documents for your application:
- A notarized/certified photocopy of your passport.
- For certified qualifications: Upload your CV/resume.
- A passport-sized photo (a clear headshot will suffice).
- For the motivation letter: Upload the invitation letter from the Geoscience Council of Namibia (from Wilka).
Note for Poster Presenters and General Attendees: If you are delivering a poster, speed talk, or simply attending the conference, and your country has a reciprocal visa arrangement with Namibia, you may obtain a visa/stamp upon arrival. Please verify your eligibility here: Visa Requirements for Namibia.
All registrants should receive a letter of invitation from the Geoscience Council of Namibia by Monday, September 9. If you have not received one, please email secretary@geocouncil.org.na. You must bring a hard copy when traveling.
We apologize again for any inconvenience this may cause and want to assure you that SEG is working diligently to streamline this process in light of Namibia's recent regulatory changes. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these updates.
