Visa Information


EU citizens need only their national identity card or passport. Citizens of the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Singapore do not need a visa to visit Belgium for up to 90 days.

Citizens from other countries must contact their local Belgian Embassy or Consulate for details regarding visa applications. Please contact the embassy or consulate as soon as possible in order to determinate their particular visa requirements.

For the registered conference participants (and accompanying persons) a letter of invitation can be provided upon request (send email to secretariat.oipe2012@ugent.be).
