"In the Academy, they develop you as a person in real life, not only as a player. IDA mentally prepares you. Being away from home has already made me more independent and mature as a person."

"Ever since he was little, this has been his dream, to be able to play in Europe and become a professional. He's finding those paths"

Do I need a Visa and what type of visa do I require?

IMPORTANT: You are responsible to have all of your travel documents valid (passport). Based on your nationality, you will need to check if a visa is needed for the country where your camp is located (contact the appropriate consulate office for entry requirements and visa requirements). Plan ahead as the visa application can be a long process. If you need a visa, it is mandatory that you apply right away after you have processed your online registration. The more you wait, the more chances you have to be denied a visa!
