Lawyers Attending The 2017 IBA Conference In Sydney, Australia. Let's Me Here. by babylawyr(f): 9:43pm On Sep 01, 2017
Hello,
As you are aware, the 2017 International Bar Association conference is holding in Sydney, Australia from the 8th to 13th of October, 2017.

Let's meet here to share ideas on visa application, flight arrangement; we will spend about 3days transiting to Australia. It will be nice to have company even at the conference.

I plan to start the process on Tuesday and will keep everyone updated. I will share updates every step of the way.

Please let me know if you have started or you are still planning or even undecided.

Cheers.

@itsachair joining the IBA fosters continuous legal education. You have access to wide range of legal materials, papers, presentations, books, conferences etc. There is also a mentorship programme.

The benefits of attending the IBA conference are immeasurable. For me, it exposes me to the world, networking, it makes me a global lawyer, i make loads of contacts whom our parts would never cross ordinarily. Socialization. Attending the seminars are always a gift. And of course, i love travelling, so it's an opportunity to travel to the other end of the earth.

As for requirements, the only requirement is that you must be qualified to practice law in at least one jurisdiction in the world. And of course, payment of membership fee - £81.
Cheers

So you would spend close to 5k dollars to attend conference that has no direct bearing on your career.

Just tell yourself that you are going on vacation.

Uncle, im a lawyer.

Do you think any organisation would sponsor a conference that will not make any impact on your career?

Is this why you asked about business visa?

You only need a visitor's visa to attend the conference and you should start your application now.

Go to department for immigration and border protection website for detailed information. The information there is self explanatory and straightforward. The link is below.

http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visi/Visi

And yes, 6 months validity is a standard for all countries if applying for a visa.
