Registration FAQs

  • You were charged the correct cost when you registered. If you received another registration confirmation in early-mid July stating the regular (non-early-bird) price, it is because we had to move your registration to another system.

    You will not be charged additional costs.

    We apologize for the confusion and appreciate your grace and patience as we work through these new circumstances.

  • Bible Translation Conference 2025 attendees are responsible for checking with their own passport country's Thai Embassy/Consulate to make sure they have the appropriate paperwork for entering Thailand. We are willing to assist with providing invitational letters to the event as needed. The actual Visa is granted by the Thai Embassy/Consulate in countries who are not already exempt. 

    The countries on the visa exempt list will be granted entry at the discretion of the Immigration agent at the time of arrival without a visa. No letter of invitation is necessary for these countries. 

    Please see Visa Exemption list for the list of visa exempt countries according to the Thai Embassy in Washington D.C., USA.
