Requesting a Visa Support Letter.

Letters are sent directly by us to the consulate where you will be applying for a visa. These letters will comply with consulate requirements (written in Spanish, with the RENURE code, with all the relevant contact information regarding organisers, and signed by a public notary, etc.)

The process for obtaining a support letter is as follows:

• 1) Contact the Argentine Consulate where you will be applying for a visa to understand the process that you will have to follow. You may need to arrange an appointment in advance, timed for when the consulate receives our letter of support. We suggest you contact the consulate no later than March 10, 2017. Contact us at info.icse2017@gmail.com as soon as possible should you anticipate any problems.
• 2) By March 23, 2017 you must have registered.
