2. Bookings from outside the European Union (EU)

If you live outside the EU and want to attend one of our events or training courses in London you may need to apply for a visitor visa. We strongly advise you to look at the UK visa authority website to answer any questions you have about entry to the UK as we are not able to offer any support for visa applications.
