Visa.
Who needs Ukrainian visa.
Participants from most of the countries need Ukrainian visa
to attend the conference. As of January 1, 2002, exceptions are participants from
Hungary, Poland, Russia, and from some of the countries of the
former Soviet Union. Even you are from the mentioned countries, please make sure
before you leave for the
conference that you really do not need visa.
Letter of invitation.
You should apply to the embassy of Ukraine in your country to get the visa.
A letter of invitation from the Organizing Committee should be attached
to your visa application to simplify the procedure. A letter of invitation
will be send to you upon your
request.
Please request a letter of invitation before March 31, 2002
to get it well in advance, otherwise you will be in hurry with your visa application.
Medical insurance.
When crossing the Ukrainian border you may be asked for a medical insurance
valid in Ukraine. Despite you have a valid insurance in your country, you have
to buy an Ukrainian one. This kind of insurance can be obtained from Ukrainian
customers at the border and costs about 20 HRN (4 EUR). The insurance covers
only very simple medical treatment in Ukraine, while the insurance issued in
your country can help you in more complicated cases.
Please do not however be surprised if you are not asked at the border for an insurance.
As far as we can see this is not very strict rule and is not always applied.
