Do I need a visa?
This page explains for which countries a visa is needed.
SNJF only provides limited assistance in obtaining a short-stay visa to compete in the Beverwijk Tournament. Please note that the application for a visa can take up to 60 days, as sometimes screening is involved and a large amount of paperwork must be provided. Therefore, if you plan to come to our tournament you must request a visa as soon as possible but preferably before January 31st.
What we WILL help you with:
- SNJF will provide you, on request, with a personalised invitation for the tournament. According to regulations, this invitation must state:
- the exact and full name of the requestor,
- date of birth, place of birth,
- passport number and place of passport issuance.
- your full address and contact information (phone, email)
We therefore need clear passport copies of the person for which the visa is requested, sent to woc@specialneedsjudo.nl. This needs to be done before the 1st of January 2019, as processing time for a visa can take quite some time.
On THIS page you can read the requirements.
What we can NOT do for you:
- SNJF will not provide you with a sponsor declaration.
- SNJF will not provide or advance money, arrange your sleeping location, or make travel arrangements. You will need to do all this yourself.
