Visa Request Process for ICST Conferences

Over the past several years the obtaining of a visa has become more complex requiring more attention, energy and time. Additionally, embassies have different requirements. Some may request:

  a letter from ICST verifying intentions of conference participant
  confirmation that the paper was accepted
  a receipt that conference fees have been paid in full
  appearance or interview by conference participant

As a result of these requirements by some embassies, ICST encourages attendees to apply no later than 3 (three) months prior the conference.


Letters of ''Invitation'' will be issued to:

  keynote speakers, presenters, panelists
  any organizing committee member
  people professionally or personally known by a committee member
  conference participant who has paid their registration fee


To request a visa letter please provide the following information:

  conference/workshop title, date and location
  the amount of fees paid by the requestor
  your intention as either a participant, presenter, committee member, speaker, panelist, etc.
