How to prepare your visa application

Start early and treat your visa preparation as part of your overall conference planning. The steps below are designed to work for both editions without assuming country-specific immigration rules.

Check your visa pathway early

Review the visitor, business, conference, or short-stay visa option that applies to your country of passport and travel purpose. Requirements differ by nationality and destination.

Register for the conference

Keep your registration confirmation, payment receipt, and edition details ready. These are commonly useful when preparing a visa application or requesting a supporting letter.

Prepare core travel documents

Have a valid passport, accommodation details, flight plan, proof of funds, travel insurance if required, and any employer or organization support letter where relevant.

Request supporting documentation if needed

If your application requires proof of attendance, contact the conference team early to request any supporting conference documentation you may need.

Valid passport with sufficient validity beyond travel dates
Conference registration confirmation
Accommodation booking confirmation
Flight reservation or travel itinerary
Proof of financial support or company sponsorship where required
