PERMISSION DOCS
Visa Information
What is a Visa?
A visa is a document showing that a person is authorized to enter the territory for which it was issued, subject to permission of an immigration official at the time of actual entry. The authorization may be a document, but more commonly it is a stamp endorsed in the applicant's passport. Some countries do not require a visa in some situations, such as a result of reciprocal treaty arrangements. The country issuing the visa typically attaches various conditions of stay, such as the territory covered by the visa, dates of validity, period of stay, whether the visa is valid for more than one visit, etc.
Embassy/Consulate
Please contact the local embassy/consulate of the host country to obtain visa.

The Ombudsperson offers complete discretion and will never do anything without the permission of the complainant, and will seek a solution that is in the interest of all the parties involved. You may contact the Ombudsperson if you have any issues/feedback or complaints, but only if you have not been able to resolve these with your hosting or sending committee. Complaints to the Ombudsperson must be received in writing using the form below, with a full explanation of the situation, and the actions that have already been taken to reach a solution.
