Individuals requesting invitation to attend the Seminario in Camagüey.
Suggested steps to follow when applying to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's "Foreign Assets Control"
- Go to the OFAC home page and sign up for e-mail advisors related to any changes in the Cuban policies at http://treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/cuba/cuba.shtml
- Review the " Overview of Sanctions" Note especially the language in the sub-section "Who Can Go...."
"Full-time professionals whose travel transactions are directly related to professional research in their professional areas, provided that their research: (1) is of a noncommercial academic nature, (2) comprises a full work schedule in Cuba, and (3) has a substantial likelihood of public dissemination."
ALL of these three point must be somehow addressed in your letter to OFACs to increase the probability of your receiving the licence to travel.
See especially: https://cubatravel.ofac.treas.gov/guidelines.htm#ProfessionalResearch The OFAC office takes these applications very, very seriously, and we each have to be sure to carefully address its requests.
- Go to the link Request a Specific License for Travel under the Comprehensive Guidelines for License Applications Work through the wizard; you will be "Requesting a New License"
- When you get to the page asking you to select the category for travel, you probably want to choose "Professional Research and Meetings"
-
NB: This category requires you to state your request for a specific license under § 515.564(b) of the Regulations to engage in transactions directly incident to professional research or attendance at a professional meeting or conference or for the organization of a professional meeting or conference in Cuba that does not qualify for the general license under § 515.564(a)." This means you should include this specific request in the cover letter of your applications to OFAC. Secondly, you are "applying as an individual."
- In Step 2 of 7, you will be required to supply an organizational relationship. If you have one to use, fine. If not, then use "Inst. for Analytic Journalism" and "Non-profit eductional" as type.
- You will be asked for travel dates. We suggest using a "Departure date: 19 February 2009" and a "Return date: 3 March 2009." These probably will NOT be the exact dates, but we do not yet know what the flight schedules.
- You will be asked to "
- "Supporting Documentation (Step 5 of 7)" I (TJ) have selected "yes," and am submitting a flyer for our Handout for SuperComputing kickoff-2up.pdf. Some of you could, of course, use that. Others will need to be more inventive, perhaps by putting together something from the SF Complex site at www.sfcomplex.org
-
Answer the obvious check boxes, noting:
Do not forget to attach the following with your application:
* Copy of your organization's brochure or other literature describing typical activities.
* Copy of agenda/program. 3rd Biennial - Call for papers.pdf and/or 3rd Bienal - Call for papers - Spanish.pdf
* Copy of resume or curriculum vitae.
-
The most important thing is to make sure that your application cover letter says that "You will be presenting a paper or a workshop that will be written up in Proceedings of the Workshop.*
- Be sure to keep hard copies of all your application paperwork, both Cuban and U.S. You will want to have that with you when entering Cuba and, perhaps, coming back to the states.
- Get to work post haste on this application and get it in; we expect complications in Washington. Then let us know, in the table below, the status of your application.
