Invitation Letter

Important information regarding invitation letters (please read): A Letter of Invitation confirms your paper submission, registration, and acceptance by the conference committee. It supports your visa application but does NOT guarantee visa approval.
1. The invitation letter will be issued ONLY after full registration and payment completion.
2. Visa rejection is not eligible for fee refunds.
3. The ISMSI conference and organizing committee only provide the official Invitation Letter; we are not authorized to intervene in visa decisions, correspond with Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Embassies, or reverse application outcomes.
4. Visa processing takes time; please register early to allow sufficient lead time.
