Visa Information
Dear participants of the 1st ADempiere Conference!
Please check if you need a visa for a short stay (Schengen Visa) and a "letter of invitation" for your visa application in order to participate at the conference.
You find all relevant information and application forms on the web site of the German Department of Foreign Affairs
including a table of countries whose citizens require/ do not require visas to enter Germany
Responsible for issuing visas are the missions of the Federal Republic of Germany, i.e. the German embassy and consulate-general in your home country.
Visa holders are as a rule required to have travel health insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 that is valid for the entire Schengen area. If possible this insurance should be taken out in your own country, but it can also be purchased by us as hosts.
As far as needed, the Schaeffer AG will contract a health insurance for incoming visitors in Germany valid for seven days.
If you need a "letter of invitation" including a confirmation of the health insurance for incoming visitors for your visa application, please send the following details for each person that requires a visa to Carolina (cg@schaeffer-ag.de):
- First name and family name as stated in the passport
- Birthday
- Passport number
- Nationality
- Date of arrival in Germany
- Date of departure in Germany
Please take into consideration the time needed to contract the insurance and the time required to process your visa application ("the missions require between two and ten working days to decide on an application for a short stay visa" - quote for the web site of the German Department of Foreign Affairs).
Therefore: please send your requests for a "letter of invitation" until May 1st to Carolina!
