Invitation letters take ECOC management 7-10 days to process so please ensure you apply for your visa as early as possible. 
 
ECOC Management are not able to contact Embassies on behalf of any individual wishing to attend the ECOC Conference & Exhibition.
 
Additional Support Documentation for Exhibitors
 
In order to provide additional supporting documentation for visa application, the organisers will also supply an official letter from the venue (CCD Congress Centre Düsseldorf) verifying that the show will be staged there and also a letter confirming if you are an exhibitor that you are registered with a booth or if a visitor that you have registered on the ECOC website to attend the event. 
 
These letters will be sent via e-mail with the letter of invitation. 
 
Please note: Refunds for exhibit space will not be made if a visa application is unsuccessful.
