It is the responsibility of each participant to check their visa and passport requirements. Participants requiring a visa should apply to the Belgian Consular office or Embassy in their own country. Please note the visa application procedure can take at least two months. The invitation letter can be directly download via our website. Please note, requests for refunds of registration fees if a visa is refused will only be considered if an official document from the embassy is sent to the ISICEM secretariat showing that the visa was applied for in time and confirming that it could not be granted.
