Visas before arrival in France
People coming from outside the European Union will have to obtain a visa. To obtain a visa to come and work at Cadarache, the following procedure needs to be followed:
1. Once your appointment to the ITER Organization at Cadarache has been accepted by the ITER Organization, the Security file will be sent to you by the Welcome Office.
2. When you send it back to us completed, with the required documents (a copy of your valid passport and two pictures), the Invitation letter will be sent. You will then be able to start the formalities for your visa.
3. You then have to take the Invitation Letter to the French Consulate or Embassy nearest your present residence. The French Consulate will give your file priority and will provide you with a special “ITER visa”, free of charge.
4. Once you have obtained your visa from the French consulate, you will be able to come to France.
