FAQ

The Tourist Visa-on-Arrival (VoA) does not require a registration letter. If you plan to apply for a Business Visa (B211), you will need to provide an invitation letter from a sponsoring organization here in Indonesia. If this is your case please write to us at fab17[@]fabfoundation.org and make your request.

The process of planning and implementing an international conference with thousands of attendees and the top digital fabrication experts in the world costs money. FAB Island is a nonprofit organization and in order to put on a conference, we require funds to do so. Registration fees help offset the costs associated with organizing and hosting an event of this scale. We have surveyed similar conferences and our registration fees are relatively modest compared with other large international conferences and for the level of the program being offered.

The ticketing schedule is outlined below. Register early to take advantage of the lowest prices and to secure a spot, as spaces are limited:
