Visa Information
Residents of most countries can either obtain visas at the Italian border gates, or are exempt from visa requirements completely for travels up to 90 days. P lease check the visa information for your country on this page: Visa Information for Foreigners.
A visa letter will be issued to you by ICST if you need to get a visa to enter Italy.
Over the past couple years the obtaining of a visa has become more complex which requires more attention, energy and time. Additionally, embassies have different requirements. Some may request:
- a letter from ICST verifying intentions of conference participant
- confirmation that the paper was accepted
- a receipt that conference fees have been paid in full
- appearance or interview by conference participant
As a result of these requirements by some embassies, ICST encourages attendees to apply no later than 3 (three) months prior the conference.
ICST will issue visa letters to:
- keynote speakers, presenters, panelists
- any organizing committee member
- people professionally or personally known by a committee member
- conference participant who has paid their registration fee in full
To request a visa letter please provide the following information:
