Visa information for foreign travelers

All foreign nationals wishing to enter France must be able to submit statutory documents at the border concerning the reasons for their stay, their means of support and accommodation arrangements.

A visa is generally required, in the absence of a waiver. For general information , please visit the France Diplomacy web site.

Visa applications are currently subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past and may take significant time for processing. Therefore, conference participants are advised to apply for a visa no later than 3 months prior to the conference.

If you need a visa and would like a letter to support your application, please contact the Local Organizing Committee after having registered and having submitted your abstract. The invitation letter will be sent as a PDF file unless otherwise instructed. Please provide the following information in your e-mail.
