Visa
You might need visa to visit Czech
Republic - we are part of the European Union and Schengen
Zone. In some cases you might need also visa to return to
your original country if you do not held a passport of the
original country. Please, check the visa needed at least two
months before your departure. In the case that you will need a letter
of acceptance for the conference consider 14 - 21 days for
producing it and air mail delivery [make sure that your postal
address in the WSCG registration database is correct; you need to
proceed registration first]. A Letter of
your paper acceptance can be
issued after the reviewing process is closed.
The FORMAL LETTER of INVITATION cannot be issued
due to many reasons and it takes
a very long time - up to 3 months.
In the case of any doubt contact immediately Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and/or selected Embassy of the Czech Republic [use SEARCH: EMBASSY].
