Italy is a member of the European Union and belongs to the Schengen Area.

Please note that all travellers, except for those exempt from visa requirements, should apply for the corresponding visa at the local Italian Embassy or Consulate before leaving their country.

People in possession of a valid residence permit or a valid long-term visa issued by another Schengen Member State, should check the validity of the visa in order to avoid any inconvenience.

If an entry visa is required, please allow sufficient time for the procedure: submit your visa application in person 3 months before you travel to Italy. The process may take longer in certain countries, so we recommend that you contact the nearest Italian Embassy or Consulate to determine your personal case.

A Letter of Invitation is provided by the EADV to the applicant only upon completion of registration, receipt of payment and upon request (online application).

Please note that a letter of invitation implies no obligation by the Organisers to cover registration fees, accommodation, travel expenses or any other costs connected to participation in the meeting.
