If your country is not on the list above, then there are two options you can chose to get a visa;
The first option is to send the following details to C.M.Lynch1@ljmu.ac.uk;
- A copy of your PhD Certificate.
- A copy of your passport. This has to be a coloured copy.
- A photograph of yourself. The photograph must be passport sized (45mm high and 35mm wide) and must also have a white background.
A letter from the conference committee will then be written which proves that you are listed as a presenter/delegate at the conference. Please Note: Your application is not guaranteed to be approved until feedback from the Immigration Office is received. The coordinator will do their best to facilitate the application for you. This option will cost you 2000 AED.
The second option is to book your flight through either Etihad airways or Emirates. By doing this, you can apply for your visa through the airline after you have booked your flight.
For information regarding applying for your visa after you have booked your flight with Etihad, use this link. You can apply online and the visa will cost a lot less than the first option but varies depending on your location and nationality.
