Visa Information for IEEE CISOSE 2027

IEEE CISOSE 2027 will be held at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, United Kingdom, on June 8–11, 2027. International participants should check the UK entry requirements for their nationality well in advance and make the necessary travel arrangements early.

What You May Need to Travel to the UK

Depending on your nationality and immigration status, you may need to:

  • apply for a UK Standard Visitor visa before you travel;
  • apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before you travel; or
  • travel with neither a visa nor an ETA.

Even if you do not need a visa or an ETA, you must still meet the UK entry requirements and may be questioned at the border. The first step is to use the official GOV.UK visa checker listed below.

UK Standard Visitor Visa

If you need a visa to visit the UK for the conference, you will usually apply for a Standard Visitor visa.

  • GOV.UK lists attending conferences, meetings and seminars among the business activities that Standard Visitors can do. Visitors cannot do paid or unpaid work for a UK company or work as self-employed in the UK.
  • You can usually stay in the UK for up to 6 months.
  • The earliest you can apply is 3 months before you travel. For travel in early June 2027, applications can therefore usually be submitted from about early March 2027.
  • The application is made online, followed by an appointment at a visa application centre, which may be in another country. You will need a passport or travel document that is valid for the whole of your stay, and the application asks for details such as your planned travel dates, accommodation during the visit and estimated trip cost.
  • Please check GOV.UK for the current fee and processing time, and apply early.

Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)

Many visitors who do not need a visa need an ETA before travelling to the UK. Each person travelling needs their own ETA, including babies and children. Citizens of Europe, the USA, Australia, Canada and certain other countries usually need an ETA rather than a visa, while British and Irish citizens and people with permission to live, work or study in the UK do not need one.

  • An ETA lets you travel to the UK for up to 6 months.
  • An ETA does not guarantee entry to the UK.
  • Apply only through the official GOV.UK service. GOV.UK warns that other websites may charge more, and advises avoiding websites that imitate government services.
