Individuals requiring an official Letter of Invitation can request one during the online registration process or, at a later stage, by writing to the Organiser (registration-espn2027@kit group.org). To receive a Letter of Invitation, attendees must first register for the Symposium and submit payment in full.

It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to take care of his/her applicable visa requirements.
Any participant requiring an entry visa must allow sufficient time for the application process. Participants should contact the nearest embassy or consulate to determine the appropriate timing of their visa applications.

When the registration has already been paid, 75% of the registration fee minus a handling fee of 50 EUR will be refunded after the Symposium if the visa was applied for in time, and proof of this, together with an official notice from the embassy confirming that a visa could not be granted, is forwarded to the Organiser at [email protected] by 21 May 2027.
