Visa
Most Europeans do not require an entry visa for Israel. Participants are requested to consult the Israeli Embassy or Consulate in their home country or with their travel agency for specific details relating to visa requirements. It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a visa if required.
Visa Application for Abstract Submitters
The ISPDD is very much aware of the time needed for visa applications to Israel. We are therefore pleased to offer those abstract submitters who must apply for a visa to Israel the opportunity to submit the title of their abstract only before submitting an abstract. The Scientific Committee will in turn review these titles as they are submitted, before the deadline, and respond with their acceptance or rejection of the title in order that you may begin the procedure of the visa applications. Full abstract text will then have to be submitted as normal by the abstract deadline.
Should you require this service, please submit your abstract title by email to the Symposium Secretariat at
isppd@kenes.com.
