<p dir="ltr">Hello Lise,</p>
<p dir="ltr">There is no difference between Amsterdam and Frankfurt in terms from visa requirement from my region, so the previous location can be well maintained. However is it possible to have the face2face anytime from 20th?</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't think it will be any issue to use the weekend for this. However what may be important is that we all get back home by Sunday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers!</p>
