AIESEC Europe Visa Update

As the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 crisis, there have been numerous changes and updates in various sectors. One area that has seen significant changes is the visa application process. AIESEC, the world's largest youth-run organization, has also had to adapt to these changes to ensure a seamless experience for their members.

Changes in Visa Requirements

In the past, AIESEC members from outside the European Union who wished to participate in an AIESEC program in Europe were required to obtain a Schengen visa. However, due to the pandemic, many European countries have either closed their borders or imposed strict travel restrictions. As a result, AIESEC has been working tirelessly to ensure that their members can still travel to Europe to participate in their programs.

Introduction of AIESEC Europe Visa

To ensure that AIESEC members can still participate in their programs, AIESEC has recently introduced the AIESEC Europe Visa. This visa simplifies the entire process for AIESEC members and ensures that they can travel to Europe without any complications. The AIESEC Europe Visa is applicable to all AIESEC members who are not EU citizens.

Advantages of AIESEC Europe Visa

The AIESEC Europe Visa has several advantages over the Schengen visa. Firstly, the application process is entirely online, which means that AIESEC members can apply for this visa from the comfort of their own homes. Additionally, the processing time for the AIESEC Europe Visa is significantly shorter than the Schengen visa. AIESEC members can get their visa within 15 working days, which is a significant improvement from the standard Schengen visa processing time.

How to Apply for AIESEC Europe Visa

The application process for the AIESEC Europe Visa is relatively straightforward. AIESEC members need to fill out an online application form and upload all of the necessary documents. The documents required include a valid passport, a letter from the AIESEC office confirming the member's participation in the program, and proof of medical insurance. Once the application is complete, AIESEC members can expect to receive their visa within a few weeks.

Conclusion

The introduction of the AIESEC Europe Visa is a significant step towards making travel for AIESEC members much more accessible and streamlined. AIESEC has worked tirelessly to adapt to the changing circumstances brought about by the pandemic, and this new visa is a testament to their commitment to supporting their members. With this new visa, AIESEC members can travel to Europe with ease and focus on the incredible opportunities that AIESEC programs offer.
