Visa application:
Visas should be applied for well in advance of your intended departure date.
Be sure to book a visa appointment at least 3-6 months before the conference, to begin the visa application.
Please note that while we wish to assist our participants by providing the visa invitation letter, we do not contact the Embassy or Consulate on behalf of participants, and we are not able to influence Embassy / Consulate procedures or decisions.
Applicants should contact the nearest local Spanish Embassy or Consulate to determine the appropriate timing and conditions of the visa application.

Invitation letter:
Participants can request an official invitation letter via online registration. The letter will only be issued to registered participants who have paid their registration fee in full.
The invitation letter aims to assist participants who need to obtain a visa, or permission to attend the conference, and is not an official invitation letter covering fees or any other expenses.
If a participant’s application for a visa is refused, the conference secretariat will refund the paid registration fees only when a copy of the refusal letter is received before xxx 1st 2026.
