HNPW guide for session organizers
Visa support

Session organizers (networks, partnerships, or AOCC leads) to invite their respective members and stakeholders to the meetings they organize at the event.

Administrative instructions for face-to-face attendees at the CICG are attached.

As required, nominal invitations and visa support letters are to be provided by organizing networks to allow face-to-face attendance. Nominal invitations may be required by some invitees to acquire approval by their organization to attend the event, visa-support letters are required by some participants to enter Switzerland.

As a good practice, visa support letters should only be provided to “known” invitees (e.g. board members, speakers). Kindly note that the organization providing the visa support letter may by held accountable in case of abuse.

The template for the visa support letter is attached at the right.
