Schengen Visa

• Participants are required to apply for a Schengen visa to France.
• STEM Olympiad will send an email on 01-15 April 2023 with the documents required for visa applications to the groups that have paid their deposits.
• French consulates in some countries may require original invitations. In this case, the original invitation will be mailed to the group via express mail for a fee of 150 €.
• It is not possible to apply for Schengen visas earlier than 3 months from the date of travel. In other words, the earliest possible application date is 17 April 2023.
• The Olympiad invitation does not mean that the groups will receive 100% visa approval, and this invitation does not guarantee a visa. Visas are granted by consulates based on an assessment of the applicants, economic and social circumstances.
• Deposits are non-refundable in case of visa refusals.
