Obtaining a Visa

Foreign participants may require a visa to enter the European Community. France belongs to the Schengen space, which means that any visa issued by countries such as Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands etc. will automatically be valid for France. For more information, contact a French embassy or visit the Web site of the French Foreign Relations site:

Upon request, the meeting coordinators will send official letters to foreign participants, to be filed with visa applications. These letters may be requested at least four months in advance to metsoc09@crpg.cnrs-nancy.fr, including your full name, date of birth, country and passport number.
