======Guests / visitors - non students======

If you have a guest or visitor who will be coming to the Observatory, please notify the Observatory secretariat. Our secretaries can provide the visitor with a visitor card and coffee card, and arrange a desk and/or a computer account if needed. Check the information below to see what action you need to take.\\ 

For guests visiting the Observatory for **a maximum of 7 days**, no official registration in the Observatory guest system is required, but please send an email to <secretaries@strw.leidenuniv.nl> __at least 1 week prior to the visit__ and indicate in the mail which facilities are needed. 

For **Dutch / EU guests** who are visiting the Observatory for **7 – 30 days**, registration in the Observatory guest management system is required.
