How do people from other countries attend the event? Do they send invitations, so I can get visa and be there? I'm crazy enough to travel 6506 miles to feel that experience.

Can you not use their email to you as the invitation letter for visa purposes? (Or does it need to properly address you by name and address?)

I'm from Mongolia, which is pretty small country, so the embassy won't be giving visas so easily and I would need some paperwork. How does YC deal with this kind of issue???
