VISAS
If you are a non EU passport holder you will require a visa to visit
Germany.
It is your responsibility to find out about this through the German immigration
website. There is a German consulate office in Edinburgh and we can provide
you with a letter of invitation to Germany to take to the consulate together with
your application form. This process takes about one week but if you are
successful in being accepted onto IEEP, we would ask you organise as soon as
your flights are booked.
Ensure you arrange for correct dates …
