It is expected that at least one author of the abstract attends the congress to present the work and answer questions. Only abstracts of registered participants will be scheduled in the Scientific Program.

Q: How do I apply for a visa to visit the Netherlands?

A: Visa regulations depend on your nationality and country of origin. Nationals from certain countries that are travelling for business and tourism purposes are allowed to enter the Netherlands without a visa.  The Visa Advisor helps you determine whether you need a visa, and if so what type. If your country of origin is not listed, we advise you to contact your local Dutch Embassy or Consulate for official instructions on the specific visa regulations and application procedures that may apply to you.

Further guidelines can be found on the website of the Government of the Netherlands.

It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a visa if required.

Q: Where can I get a Congress invitation letter so that I can apply for a visa?
A: Invitation letters for visa purposes are available only to registered participants. The option to issue an invitation letter is available within the registration process. At the end of the registration process, you will be able to generate an invitation letter, and you will also receive a confirmation email with a link to the invitation letter.

Q: Is it possible to send an official invitation letter directly to my local Consulate?
A: Unfortunately, we are unable to send invitation letters directly to consulates. Invitation letters are prepared solely for individuals and are mailed directly to them.
