To participate in the Change the World Model UN Conference it is necessary to send the application and face a selection interview with the staff members of Change the World. Selected candidates are given the opportunity to enroll in Change the World Academy and attend the entire training course that ends with their participation in the CWMUN Conference. Access to CWMUN events is only granted to students who are regularly enrolled in the Change the World Academy and completed the preliminary course.

Thanks to Associazione Diplomatici, main sponsor of the Change the World Model UN, all the eligible applicants can take advantage of merit-based grant that includes:

• a financial aid that can be spent as deduction from the Change the World Academy enrollment fees;
• free participation to the CWMUN NYC Conference;
• free access to the Conference(s) venue(s).

The pricing you see is only valid for those students who passed the selection interview and automatically benefit from the Associazione Diplomatici merit-based grant. Prices do not include flight fares and visa expenses. These costs are borne by participants. Associazione Diplomatici does not deal with travel arrangements for students.

Generally speaking, all travellers to the UAE must present a negative result of a PCR test at the departure airport. Also, you must be fully vaccinated to enter most public places in Abu Dhabi. We recommend that you read all the official regulations carefully before organizing your trip to the UAE. Find all the info on the official website.

You can apply for your Visa via your local Emirates office in your country of residence. When applying please ensure all of the following documents are submitted: applicant’s colour photograph, your colour passport copy. Be aware that your passport must be valid for at least six months.

When planning to flight to the UAE please make sure to ask your Emirates Embassy in your country for additional information on how to get your permission. On a general note, your visa fees must be paid upon application and are non-refundable. Depending on the period, getting a Visa can take a while and you cannot make it to the Conference. Make sure to schedule your appointment at the Embassy in advance. If you plan it properly, your Visa processing time can take approximately three to four working days. All visas are valid for 60 days from the date of issue to enter Abu Dhabi, except the 96-hour visa, which is valid for 14 days from the date of issue to enter Abu Dhabi. Entry into the UAE is subject to immigration approval.

CWMUN is more than happy to assist you while getting a Visa offering help or writing your letter of invitation. However, writing a letter of invitation does not guarantee you are getting a Visa, CWMUN will not interfere with any Embassy or Consulate decisions or contact them on behalf on any person. Before planning your trip, please contact your local authorities for further information on how to get your Visa successfully.

If you need a letter, please email us and submit your passport information. A copy of your passport is mandatory to get your letter. A CWMUN Staff Member will get back to you with additional information in no time.
