Visas

All foreign delegates entering the Federal Republic of Germany must have a valid passport.

Participants requiring a visa are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate consular authorities in good time. The issuance of a visa for Schengen States may take up to two weeks from the date of submission of the visa application. To facilitate the issuance of a visa, a copy of the acknowledgement letter from the Online Registration System (ORS) must be attached to the visa application.

For more information, please visit the English language website of the Federal Foreign Office (also available in French and Spanish) and the website of the German mission where you are planning to apply for your visa.

Participants are advised that obtaining a Schengen visa is contingent on the participant securing comprehensive insurance that covers the entire stay. If you are travelling more than one time, it is recommended to directly get an insurance that covers the time period of all intended stays.
