Visas

If you are planning to travel to the EU and live in a country that requires a visa, we urge to apply for one as early as possible. Below are suggestions to help you secure a visa.

• Apply at least 5 months before intended travel.
• Be accurate and specific in completing your application. Avoid mistakes. If needed, attach an additional explanation letter.
• Attach evidence of your previous visits to the EU and of your intended return trip to your home country.
• Acquire a police clearance, if possible.
• Bring all documentation proving your home country connections. Suggestions include: past visas, bank accounts, family, professional position, home ownership, and marriage license.
• If you are presenting a paper or speaking at the meeting or are receiving an award or grant, bring copies of correspondence confirming that.
• Bring your letter of invitation from MSACL (see below).
