The registration fee does not include lunches at the venue or accommodation, these are separate optional fees (see section Accommodation for more info on accommodation options).
Visa information
Some participants from foreign countries may require a visa to enter Belgium. Please note that Belgium is a part of the Schengen Area. You are encouraged to apply for a visa as soon as possible. The time frames for visa processing are difficult to predict with accuracy for any individual applicant and could vary significantly depending on the country of residence of the applicant. As the school lasts fewer than 90 days, participants should get the C type visa. More information is provided on the website of the Belgian Immigration Office
Letter of invitation
If you need a letter of invitation or some other document for your visa application, you can request it over email at esslli2024@kuleuven.be once your registration fee is paid.
Citizens of the Russian Federation
Due to complex and lengthy visa procedures we regret that we cannot provide invitation letters to holders of Russian passports.
