Check if you require a visa for your trip
Depending on where you’re travelling from, you may need a visa for your trip to France. Here’s what you need to know.
If you're not an EU or EEA citizen, you may require a visa. This includes citizens of European countries like the UK. We recommend checking with the French Embassy for the latest information – look out for any updates before you travel.
If you do require a visa, we recommend planning your application in advance to leave plenty of time to get organised. If you need a Visa Invitation Letter, you’ll find a useful template for generating one in your Cannes Lions Account by navigating to Purchased Orders > Delegate pass > Options > Request Visa Letter.
To download a Visa Invitation Letter from Cannes Lions, navigate to your Cannes Lions Account and follow these steps: Purchased Orders > Delegate pass > Options > Request Visa Letter.

If the name on your registration differs from the one on your passport or if you aren’t the account holder of the booking, don’t worry. Just contact the Delegates team with the details, and we’ll be able to assist you.
