VISAS

Participants coming from EU nations and citizens of the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, do not need visas to enter Italy. Most NON-EU citizens (and participants from other countries) will need a visa and, sometimes, either a declaration or a permit of stay to formalize their visit in Italy. As visa regulations are continuously evolving, we strongly recommend you to consult the official website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp ) for updated and detailed information for foreigners regarding entrance visas for Italy and permits of stay. Information is offered in English and other languages. The application for a visa must be done at the Italian Consulate or Embassy in your country of origin or where you have permanent residence, at least 3 months prior the Course. If living in another country, you may find the Italian Consulate or Embassy willing to let you apply for a visa from there, but this is entirely up to the Consulate to decide.

OFFICIAL LETTERS OF INVITATION

Official letters of invitation, designed to help overcome administrative difficulties in certain countries, will be sent upon request after registration is complete, and upon receipt of the appropriate registration payment from the delegate. It must be understood that such letters do not represent a commitment on the part of the Organizing Secretariat to provide any financial assistance. All expenses incurred in with relation to the Course are the sole responsibility of the delegate. Delegates requiring an official letter of invitation in order to obtain a visa to attend the Conference, should email info@adbcongressi.it quoting their full name and mailing address. Please note that it is responsibility of the delegate to take care of his/her visa requirements. Delegates who do require an entry visa must allow adequate time for the application procedure. You should allow approximately 12 weeks prior to the Course, although this process may take longer in some countries.

For specific information, please contact the nearest Italian embassy at least six weeks prior to your departure for Italy.
