Letters of Invitation for visa applications

Please complete your ISAKOS 2027 registration online to receive your letter of invitation. Invitations will be issued automatically as part of the registration confirmation process.

All international delegates are responsible for arranging their own travel documentation. Most visitors to Australia will require a valid visa to enter the country.

How to Apply

Applying for your Australian visa is straightforward and can be done through official Australian Government channels.

Letters of Invitation for Visa Applications

When assessing whether you meet the criteria for the grant of a visa, the Department of Home Affairs may take into account whether you are registered or were invited to attend the event. Confirmation of registration, or a copy of your letter of invitation, should accompany visa applications. For online subclass 400 and subclass 600 applications, information about documents that need to be attached will be provided as part of the application process.
