For those who require a visa, please note that the conference organizers and committee have no control over the visa application process, nor the decision of the visa adjudicator in the embassy or consulate. The conference cannot be responsible for actual visa issuances. As the process length varies for individuals, you are strongly advised to start your application as soon as you can. Should your application be denied, we cannot change the decision of the Federal Foreign Office, nor will we engage in discussion or correspondence with the Federal Foreign Office or the Embassy on behalf of the applicant.
