Visa Requirements
Please check if you need a visa to enter Switzerland and the Schengen area respectively.
In the case that you will need a Schengen visa for up to 90 days, you will have to submit a letter of invitation issued by the Local Organising Committee. Please contact eseh2023.hist@unibe.ch to ask for this letter. Without exception, we will only issue letters of invitation to scholars whose panel, paper or poster has been accepted.
You can apply for a Schengen visa six months in advance, i.e. from late February 2023 onwards. Please consider that the application process will take several weeks or even months. So, we urgently advise you to apply for the visa as soon as possible.
