You can check the visa requirements for visiting Italy here.

If need a visa to attend CPHI Milan, you should start the visa process as early as possible. In line with Italian regulations, Informa Markets (organiser of CPHI Milan) cannot issue and/or sign any invitation letters for visa purposes. However, Informa Markets has appointed MiCo dmc as our official Italian partner. You may request a visa invitation letter and supporting documents from them.

You will need the registration key that you received in your registration confirmation email to request your letter. If you haven't yet registered, you can see the available ticket bundles here. 

To request your visa invitation letter, please use the link: https://guests.micodmc.it/CPHIVisa/

Each visa invitation letter costs EUR 100. For any questions regarding the invitation letter or visa application process, please contact: [email protected]

Italy requires a "Formal Business Invitation" signed by an Italian company and representative for visa applications. As the organisers of the event, while we conduct business meetings with attendees, we are not authorised to issue these formal invitations directly and so we have partnered with MiCo dmc to make the process as smooth as possible.

You are of course welcome to pursue the visa application process independently, utilising your own contacts or resources to obtain the necessary documentation.

Whilst there is a cost associated with the manual work and detailed document checks, we have negotiated with our partner to ensure competitive rates of EUR 100 per visa letter.

Please note:

The process of obtaining a visa is ultimately the responsibility of the attendee. Neither the organiser nor our partner can guarantee the approval of any visa application. CPHI has no control or involvement in third-party decisions such as issuing an invitation letter or any kind of visa process.
