Letter of Invitation
An official invitation can be requested via email. Please note that this procedure aims to assist participants who need to obtain a visa or permission to attend the Congress and is not an official invitation covering fees or any other expenses. It does not imply any financial support from the Congress organizers, nor from the ISHM.
Please check with your local embassy what documents are needed to apply for a visa. A valid passport is generally required for entry. Being one of the Schengen countries, Portugal follows the common visa policy on short-term stays of up to three (3) months within the Schengen area. The citizens of Schengen countries are not subjected to border controls within the common area, though airlines or other carriers do require an identification document (e.g. ID card, driving license, or passport).
If a visa application has been declined – for whatever reason – the Congress organizers cannot be held liable for any incurred expenses, such as registration fees, accommodation, travel, financial losses, etc.
