Visa letters for non-authors will only be issued to registered participants who have paid in full their registration fee. Participants needing a visa to enter Greece, are responsible for obtaining appropriate visas for the conference.
A visa to enter Greece is waived for participants coming from a Schengen Zone country. An identity card or a passport is required to pass through airport control or borders entry. Citizens coming from countries that have not yet joined Schengen Zone may require a Visa to enter Greece. In this case, the individual is solely responsible for obtaining timely a visa from the Greek Embassies/Consulates in their country. This process can take up to two months or even more, Greece being a popular destination during the summer months, so plan ahead of time. You may find whether you need a visa or not, depending on the country you are coming from in the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs site. Please, note that the Conference cannot contact or intervene with any Embassy or Consulate office abroad on your behalf so please begin your visa application process as soon as you determine that you want to attend the IEEE ISIT 2024.
Prospective ISIT attendees who are applying for Visa to Greece, in case of appointment unavailability can reach out to the Greek Embassy/Consulate (in their respective jurisdiction) to determine if they can make an exception and accommodate them with an appointment. Individuals seeking visa appointments are encouraged to talk directly with consulate staff versus relying alone on on-line scheduling systems.
Alternatively, if the attendees have other planned travel to the Schengen area, they could explore obtaining a multi-visit visa from a different Schengen state which could also cover their trip to ISIT in Greece.
Note: During your stay in Greece, if you require a Visa, you are advised to have suitable insurance coverage for emergency medical or other needs.
Refunds
Refunds for cancellations due to non-issuance of visa will not be granted unless a proof of prompt request for an appointment at a Greek Embassy/Consulate is provided.
