Visas
Citizens from the EEA or people who are staying for less than 6 months in the UK generally do not need a visa. However, you need to provide evidence when entering that you will only stay for a short while. Make sure that you visit the UK visa site to make sure that you meet the requirements. We can provide a letter confirming your attendance to the conference upon registration and payment of the fee.
