VISA  ARRANGMENTS

Each participant (sponsored or non-sponsored) will be responsible for bearing the costs of their own visa. For sponsored participants, visa costs will be reimbursed by EUMETSAT.

Please consult the official immigration website of the Republic of Eswatini to check whether you require a visa and, if so, which category applies (e.g. Ordinary or Referral visa).

Following registration, the Organising Committee will provide a personalised invitation letter to facilitate the visa application process.

 Participants may obtain their visa through one of the following options:

• Visa on arrival: available only for nationals of certain countries (please refer to the official immigration website for eligibility). 
• E-visa: applications can be submitted and paid online via the official immigration portal. A visa approval letter is typically issued within 48–96 hours and must be presented at check-in and upon arrival in Eswatini.

For the e-visa application, the following documents are required (PDF format):
o Scanned copy of passport 
o Nominative invitation letter from the Organising Committee (provided upon registration confirmation) 
o Flight itinerary 

• Embassy or Consulate: application submitted in person at the nearest Eswatini diplomatic mission prior to departure. 

Should you encounter any difficulties in obtaining a visa, please contact the UFA Secretariat (ufa@eumetsat.int) as early as possible so that support can be provided.
