I have a scientific research invitation letter, what kind of visa I need

Upvote:2

You need to apply for a normal, short stay visa. The purpose of your trip (question number 21) should be "OTHER" and you should type "Academic Conference"; as none of the choices apply. These are:

  • Tourism
  • Business
  • Visiting family or friends
  • Cultural
  • Sports
  • Official Visit
  • Medical Reasons
  • Study
  • Transit
  • Airport Transit
  • Other

You can provide the invitation letter as part of your supporting documents; along with the normal requirements for such a visit:

  1. Proof of financial means / support
  2. Hotel accommodations for the period of your stay
  3. Travel reservation for the period of your stay
  4. Insurance suitable for Schengen visa purposes and valid for the period of your stay.
  5. Valid passport
  6. Letter of employment (if applicable)
