From 676ecf976cff8bf611cc045e6f351ce36f1009bb 2018-08-08 00:32:25 From: Bradley M. Kuhn Date: 2018-08-08 00:32:25 Subject: [PATCH] Visa Fees: reimbursement is permitted. Historically, we have always allowed visa fees, as described herein, for reimbursement. Technically speaking, they were prohibited because of this text early in the policy: "only those categories of expenses listed in this document qualify." I've left that text in place and added visa fees explicitly. --- diff --git a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.md b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.md index 3852e9b0d8d4881536919d7534e5b63595f932bf..87829ea61fadc30e287ccc08b817bf2c2ef49e3f 100644 --- a/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.md +++ b/Travel/conservancy-travel-policy.md @@ -559,6 +559,19 @@ reimbursement.
