Visa Information
Residents of most countries can either obtain visas at the Turkish border gates, or are exempt from visa requirements completely for travels up to 90 days. Please check the visa information for your country on this page: Visa Information for Foreigners.
A visa letter will be issued to you by ICST if you need to get a visa to enter Turkey.
Over the past couple years the obtaining of a visa has become more complex which requires more attention, energy and time. Additionally, embassies have different requirements. Some may request:
- a letter from ICST verifying intentions of conference participant
- confirmation that the paper was accepted
- a receipt that conference fees have been paid in full
- appearance or interview by conference participant
As a result of these requirements by some embassies, ICST encourages attendees to apply no later than 3 (three) months prior the conference.
ICST will issue visa letters to:
- keynote speakers, presenters, panelists
- any organizing committee member
- people professionally or personally known by a committee member
- conference participant who has paid their registration fee in full
To request a visa letter please provide the following information:
- conference/workshop title, date and location
- the amount of fees paid by the requestor
- your intention as either a participant, presenter, committee member, speaker, panelist, etc.
