VISA AND LETTER OF ATTESTATION REQUEST
Participants are strongly advised to make sure they fulfill all legal requirements to enter Switzerland (and Schengen Area). Besides a valid passport, an entry visa may also be required. Please visit the official website of the Swiss Governement http://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/reps/eur/vbel/ref_visinf/visbel.html to find out whether, depending on your citizenship, country of long-term residence, and the duration and reasons for your stay, you need a visa to enter Switzerland.
It is highly recommended to start the process a minimum of 2 ½ months prior to your arrival in Switzerland. Please contact your nearest Swiss or European Country part of the Schengen Agreement consulate or embassy in your country of residence for further information.
Attestation letters to assist in visa formalities are designed to help overcome administrative difficulties in certain countries. It must be understood that such letters do not imply any financial support or hosting arrangement from IOF, nor a guarantee of a visa being issued. The attestation letter to assist in visa formalities will only be sent on request and only to participants who have paid their registration fees in full.
Should you wish to receive a letter, please note that your request must be registered as early as possible by filling in the appropriate fields in the on-line registration before Before November 20, 2010 or by requesting it via gtc2011@iofbonehealth.org in case it has not been requested at the time of registration.
