CONGRESS

VISA 

In order to enter Spain from some countries, citizens must apply for a visa. If that is your case and you need a visa letter to meet the document requirements required by your Embassy, please contact the organization at invitationletter@shineworldcongress2023.com before May 1, 2023. 

Your application must include: 

1. All your personal information in writing (First Name, Last Name, Nationality, and Passport Number) 
2. Scanned copy of your passport (or photo if it is sufficiently visible). 
3. Date of entry and departure to Spain. Please note that, due to legal visa requirements, we can only issue a letter of invitation for the dates immediately prior to the Congress. We recommend applying for a tourist visa if you need to stay longer in the country. 
4. Proof of payment for your full registration, including any extras you have acquired. 
5. Specify that you need a letter to acquire a visa.

Following the protocol established by the WAGC 2023 Organization, the invitation letter will be issued once the registration and full payment of the reservation has been completed. 

Be sure to contact the Spanish Consulate or Embassy corresponding to your place of residence  and do not leave it until the end. There you should find out: 

1. When should you start the VISA application process? 
2. What documents are required at the Consulate? They may vary depending on the particular circumstances of the country in which you reside due to the current international outlook. 

 We would like you to note that once we receive your application with all the data and verify that everything is correct, the invitation letters will take a few days to be ready before they are sent. They will be sent as soon as possible. 

Vaccines Yellow Fever:
If you are coming from a country with a ‘moderate’ risk for yellow fever, make sure you bring your vaccination certificate. It may be requested upon your entry into the country. 

Covid:
NO COVID-19 SANITARY CONTROLS ARE CARRIED OUT AT ENTRY POINTS IN SPAIN.
