The DDFI workshop 2025 is organized on the campus of GSI, for which specific access rules exist for people who need a travel visa for travelling to the EU. In particular, a general tourist visa will not be accepted.
- Only a visa issued by German authorities for specifically attending the workshop at GSI will be accepted. A general Schengen Visa for tourism purpose is not enough.
- GSI will issue invitation letters for applying for the visa.
- Please keep in mind that the registration deadline for people travelling with a visa is different from the general attendee registration deadline to allow for processing time.
- Citizens of countries listed as "critical" by the German Federal Ministry of Interior and Community under the § 13 Absatz 1 Nummer 17 SÜG act will require up to 5 weeks for processing the invitation letter.
