Italy belongs to the Schengen Area, therefore participants are invited to check for visa requirements in order to enter Italy by visiting the page: https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en
Applications for letters of invitation will be accepted by the LOC of "Perspectives at IBF" workshop until July 31, 2025.
Please send your request via email to ibf-workshop-loc@lists.infn.it with the subject “Invitation letter for VISA” and provide the following information:
- your name and surname as written on your passport
- institutional e-mail (no Gmail or other)
- scanned copy of your passport (if you prefer not to send passport via email, please inform the LOC and they will arrange a different option to collect your passport)
- official name and address of your institute
- dates of your stay in Italy (including flight dates if possible)
- info on your place of stay (name of the hotel that you have reserved and written confirmation of reservation).
The LNGS User Office will then contact you for any further information (if there's any missing item) and to send you the invitation letter. Please be aware that the duration of visa release process is depending on each embassy release policy and is totally beyond LNGS's control, therefore LNGS cannot guarantee the release of your visa when sending the invitation.
Please note that it is mandatory to register for the "Perspectives at IBF" workshop before claiming letters of invitation.
Please also note that all visa-related documents issued by LNGS cannot grant any financial support from the LOC.
