Please check with your travel agent. The visa application process can take up to 2 months; so it is important that you start your application as soon as possible to ensure you receive your visa in time to travel to HIC 2018.
Delegates requiring a letter of invitation in order to attend the conference may write to the conference secretariat (congressi@bibagroup.it) specifying the necessary details.
