All foreign delegates entering Germany must have a valid passport. Participants requiring a visa are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate consular authorities as soon as possible following receipt of this notification. 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 must be attached to the visa application.

Participants are advised that obtaining a Schengen visa is contingent on the participant securing comprehensive insurance that covers their entire stay. If travelling more than once, it is recommended to obtain insurance that covers the period of all intended stays.  Participants should indicate also if a Schengen visa has been issued to them in the last 59 months.

For more information, visit the English language website of the German Federal Foreign Office (also available in French and Spanish) and the website of the German Mission that will handle the visa application.
