Please check with Federal Foreign Office and your local embassy embassy if you require a visa for traveling to Germany. If you need to apply for a visa, we can write you a letter of recommendation. For this, you must have either registered for the conference or have a paper accepted at FUSION 2016. Please send us an email containing least the following information
Full Name
Gender
Date of Birth
Passport Number
Paper ID (if applicable)
Address to send the document to
Embassy you are going to request the visa at (this is absolutely necessary for participants who do not live in China and/or request it in a different country).
If the embassy in your country requires us to include additional information (e.g. travel dates), simply tell us what else to include. Please note: We can only write a letter of recommendation and not a legally binding invitation letter. An official invitation would have legal implications that cannot be burdened by the conference committee.
