Passport / Visa / Invitation letter
Each delegate and accompanying person is responsible for having a valid passport for entry into France. Participants requiring a VISA for entry into France are advised to submit their application in their home country at least two months prior to the intended date of travel. Please check with the French Embassy in your country to determine if a VISA is required.
Delegates requiring an Invitation letter in order to obtain a VISA will receive this automatically together with their registration confirmation. The letter of invitation does not cover registration fees or any related expenses and is considered a formality to facilitate the process of obtaining a VISA for entry into France. Cancellations due to VISA refusal /delay are non refundable.
Congress language
All sessions of the Scientific Programme are exclusively in English.
Press registration
Individuals from the press can collect a free one-day badge at the ESA Secretariat desk on site (subject to approval of press credentials by the ESA Secretariat). That badge will have to be returned the same day. For any additional day(s), they will have to collect a new free one-day badge.
A press badge allows access to the poster area, exhibition and scientific sessions.
However, press badge holders cannot access:
- any additional fee paying workshops with limited attendance
- the Basic Sciences Anaesthetic Course sessions (taking place at the same venue as Euroanaesthesia)
