  •  Belarus: Miss Belarus 2006 1st runner-up, Yulia Sindzeyeva, was supposed to compete in Miss World; however, she attended the Miss International contest in Japan, where she became 2nd runner-up.

On October 17, a jury decided in favor of Reprod, ending the dispute between both.
  •  Latvia: Ina Avlasēviča, Miss Latvia 2006, will compete in Miss World 2008. The organization sent Kristīne Djadenko, a former Miss Latvia, to this year's pageant.
