All non-Italian nationals entering Italy must provide valid travel documentation. Delegates who hold neither an EU passport nor a Schengen visa should check as soon as possible the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website to see if they require a visa to enter Italy, as visa applications can take as long as 120 days. Visa regulations depend on your nationality and country of origin (visit https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en for more information). For the most updated information regarding visa requirements, we suggest you contact your local consulate for full and official instructions on the specific visa regulations and application procedures that apply to you.
If a visa is required, delegates should apply to the Italian Diplomatic and Consular Representations in their country of residence with the documents outlined on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website.

Please note that the VISA guarantee letter will only be available to participants who have paid their reservation registration fee.
Presentation of the requested documentation does not guarantee that the visa will be issued.
