The territory of France is a Member State of the European Union (EU) and thus part of the Schengen Area. Generally, non-EU citizens need a visa to stay in France. To find out whether you need a visa to visit France, visit this webpage.

Check if you need a Visa

If you require an invitation letter for visa purposes, you can request one via email from EFA/SKEMA Business School. Please note that while this invitation letter may help facilitate the visa issuance process, it does not guarantee that your visa application will be approved. It is your responsibility to apply for a visa on time and provide any additional supporting documentation as required. If your visa application is declined, SKEMA Business School/EFA cannot arrange for the issuance of your visa on your behalf.

How to request your Visa invitation letter

1. Register for the EFA 52^nd Annual Meeting (information here);
2. Send your request via email to efa2025@skema.edu Please include:
   1. Name and Last name
   2. Passport number, issuing country and expiration date of the passport
   3. Academic institution

Please be aware that as the local organizer of the event, SKEMA Business School is not obligated to issue an invitation letter if there is suspicion that visas may be misused for a purpose other than attending the conference.
