Visa

Visa

Entry to the country is granted to all foreigners taking part in congresses organized in the Netherlands, regardless of their nationality. Participants must, of course, meet the normal requirements, i.e. they must possess valid travel documents and sufficient means of support. Participants requiring a visa for entry to the Netherlands are strongly advised to make their application in their home countries long before the intended date of travel. Visa application procedures are easier when the acknowledgment of registration is included.

Letter of invitation

The UvA Conference Office will send Letters of Invitation only to registered participants upon request. It should be understood that this Letter is only to help participants to raise travel funds or to obtain a visa and is not a commitment on the part of the organizers to provide any financial support. Applications for a letter of Invitation should be received by the UvA Conference Office before 1 March 2003. As the Dutch embassies in foreign countries only accept original letters or faxes, the UvA Conference Office will NOT be able to send you a letter of invitation by e-mail. Please take this into consideration. Applications received after 1 March 2003 will not be dealt with. Refunds cannot be made because of visa applications not being granted.
