PASSPORT & VISA REQUIREMENTS

A valid passport will be required for entry into the organising country, in this case France. Since EuMW events are held in the European Union, no visa is usually required for travellers with passports from a number of countries, like for instance: European Union, United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia or Singapore. However you will need to check with your local embassy. If you need a visa, we recommend that you speak with the French Embassy, in your own country. You should organise this at least 3 to 4 months prior to the EuMW.

PERSONAL INVITATION

The organisers will be pleased to send a letter of invitation to any conference delegate, speaker or exhibitor requesting it. In the case of delegates, it is understood that such an invitation is intended to help potential delegates in raising funds or obtaining a visa. The letter of invitation is therefore not a commitment on the part of the conference organisers to provide any fi nancial support and the conference fees will not be waived.
