Visa information

Delegates should determine if they will require a visa to enter Ireland. 

Irish immigration facilitates a short stay ‘conference/event visa’ which allows you to travel to Ireland for up to 90 days to attend a conference, symposium or other event, subject to certain conditions. Delegates requiring a conference visa are advised to refer to the following website for full information and to familiarise themselves with the visa application process: 

Conference/Event visa - Irish Immigration Services 

Early application to the Irish immigration service is strongly encouraged, as processing times can vary, depending on the attendee’s country of origin and application volumes. 

Letter from conference organiser 

Delegates seeking a conference visa will be required to obtain a letter, on headed paper, from the conference organiser to accompany their visa application. The Global Bioeconomy Summit organisers will provide suitable visa letters once the official Summit registration opens. 

More information will be provided in due course. In the interim, please prepare all other supporting documentation for your visa application.
