Visas may be required for travel to Barcelona from some countries.
We would refer you to your local Spanish embassy for more information regarding Visa requirements. Please remember to allow time for the paperwork to be processed ahead of the Conference. Regrettably we cannot help directly with your application but we can provide a visa letter. Please indicate in the registration process whether or not you would like us to provide you with a letter.
(NB our letter will only cover the period of the Conference and allow for reasonable time to travel to and from Barcelona.)
If you need assistance with a visa application, the LBMA suggests contacting Trans World Visa Services. Trans World can provide you with a secure and efficient way of obtaining your visa.
