We are very pleased that you are planning to attend A2009 Conference. You may need a visa to enter Denmark. Because of world events, visa applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. Because greater scrutiny means a longer waiting period, we recommend that you begin your visa application process well in advance of your travel dates.

Visa Requirements vary from Country to Country. Contact the Danish embassy or consulate in the country where you live to determine if you will need a visa and/or a visa support letter to visit Denmark.
If you need a letter, contact our SAS office in Denmark with your request. You can send an email to Heidi.bach@sdk.sas.com. We will send a letter to support your visa application via email in Adobe (PDF). We will only issue letters for persons who have registered and paid for an event. If you do not receive your visa in time to attend, your registration fee will be refunded. In view of the number of requests we are receiving for visa support letters, you should make this request as soon as possible. We cannot assure that we will able to provide you a letter in time if your request is made less than 5 business days before your appointment or 10 business days before the beginning of the conference.
