Visa Requirements

It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to take care of his/her visa requirements. Attendees who require an entry visa must allow sufficient time for the application procedure. Attendees should contact their nearest embassy or consulate to determine the appropriate timing of their visa applications.

The organisers will not directly contact embassies and consulates on behalf of visa applicants.

If for any reason a visa cannot be granted and the visa was applied for in time, an applicant may apply for a refund, provided that there is official proof from the Embassy to confirm that a visa could not be granted. This document should be sent to the ESICM Congress Registration department. The registration fee, minus a handling fee of 50 EUR, will be refunded after the Congress.

The congress organiser shall be held liable in the framework of a duty of care as a respectable business operator, according to statutory provisions. The liability of the congress organiser - for whatever legal reason - shall be limited to intent and gross negligence. The liability of commissioned service providers shall remain unaffected by this. The attendee shall take part in the Congress at his/her own risk. Oral agreements shall not be binding if these have not been confirmed in writing by the congress organiser.

Letter of Invitation

Individuals requiring an official Letter of Invitation can request one from the ESICM Registration Department. To receive a Letter of Invitation, attendees must first register to the Congress and submit payment in full. Letters of Invitation will not be sent after the pre-registration deadline (30 August 2019).
The Letter of Invitation does not financially obligate the congress organisers in any way. All expenses incurred in relation to the Congress are the sole responsibility of the attendee.
