For International participants, to obtain an Australian visa an Invitation Letter is not required. Once you have registered and paid the registration fees in full then your confirmation of registration or tax invoices for payment of registration fees is sufficient to lodge with your visa application.
Note – it is strongly recommended that Australian visa applications are lodged at least two months prior to departure from your point of origin. This cannot be organised upon arrival.
