What I meant to ask was that: it was announced at Wikimania that "visa-rejected 
applicants from 2017 are automatically eligible for the 2018 event". Are they 
(visa-rejected applicants from 2017) required to apply again? through the same 
process?

Hi all,
Every year since 2007 we celebrate International Mother Language Day by 
standing in a public place with banners asking passersby to contribute to the 
Bangla Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. This year, we hosted the 
gathering in 6 different cities of Bangladesh.
