Attending

Visa Information

Italy is part of the Schengen Area: visa rules are determined by the applicable Schengen short-stay regulations and the applicant’s nationality.

Attendees are strongly encouraged to verify visa requirements as early as possible using the official Italian government visa portal:

• Visa for Italy

Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport, country of residence, and the purpose and duration of the stay.

For most conference participants traveling for a short stay, the relevant rules will generally be those applicable to short-term visits.

Applicants should check the applicable requirements and submit their application through the Italian Embassy or Consulate responsible for their place of residence.

As visa processing times may vary significantly depending on the country and season, participants are advised to begin the process as early as possible.

Visa Support Letter

Visa support letters can be issued only to attendees who have registered for the conference and have paid their registration in full.

Once you have registered through the conference registration system and your payment has been confirmed, you can request a letter to the general chair Roberto Verdecchia(roberto.verdecchia@unifi.it) providing the following information:

• The full name as it appears on the passport
• The affiliation with the postal mailing address
• The current position
• The paper title the attendee will present
• The track or workshop of the paper
• Registration confirmation number

The Conference cannot contact or intervene with any Embassy or Consulate office abroad on your behalf, so please register early and begin your visa application process early.
