How do I receive an invitation letter for my visa application?

With regard to entry formalities, we recommend that you contact the German embassy or consulate in your country or your travel agency.

With effect from 24 July 2013, the visa offices at the foreign representations of the Federal Republic of Germany have been informed that future applications for a visa to visit a trade fair in Germany will no longer require the presentation of an invitation from the respective trade fair company.

Exhibitors are requested to submit an exhibitor authorisation from the respective trade fair company when applying for a visa. In this case, the visa can be issued free of charge. If the exhibitor is not in possession of an exhibitor authorisation, the purpose of the trip must be made plausible in another way; in this case, a visa cannot be issued free of charge.

Messe Düsseldorf is represented by 77 partners in 141 nations worldwide. They offer a wide range of trade fair-related services for visitors, exhibitors and the press. You can find more information about our foreign representatives and their contact details on our website.
