Passport and Visa

Please contact your local Portuguese Consulate to learn more about visa acquisition.
For many participants, letters of invitation help smooth the visa process. We wish to support international attendees in their efforts to secure the needed travel documentation. However, in order to receive a letter of invitation, MEMC-GREAT must be assured that you intend to attend the meeting if your travel request is granted. Individuals that require an official letter of invitation in order to obtain a visa and authorization to attend the meeting must:
We require that you provide your full name, address, and email for us to process the electronic official letter of invitation. The letter of invitation does not financially obligate the MEMC-GREAT Scientific Meeting organizers in any way. All expenses incurred in relation to the meeting are the sole responsibility of the attendee. Please note that we cannot guarantee that you will receive a visa. The decision to grant visas is at the sole discretion of the embassy/consulate. The meeting organizers cannot change the decision of the governmental agency should your application be denied. Due to the costs involved, we cannot send letters of invitation via express mail services.
Advance travel planning and early visa application are important. It is recommended that you apply early for your visa.
