To obtain an entrance card you should present your official invitation at the reception desk.
If you do not have an invitation and are visiting the fair for the first time, you will have to fill in a registration form and hand it in together with your Chamber of Commerce registration, a professional document confirming your sales activities or an invoice issued by one of the exhibitors.

Invitation letter

The invitation letter is the letter we usually issue after a visitor’s request to help them for a visa issuance.
Before issuing an invitation letter, we need the following documents:

- In case of a new visitors all the business details so that we can proceed with the registration: business name, address, main telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, main referent’s name and position and his/her business contact details.
- Always for new visitors: An invoice issued for the requesting company by a supplier of ready-made clothes or accessories. It would be much better if the invoice is issued by one of the exhibitors of one of our fairs. This procedure is the most important one to be followed for non-European Countries since it would avoid us the request of translated documents and allows us to quicken the registration process.
- Always for new visitors: in case they cannot send us an invoice, they can send a document issued by the Chamber of Commerce of the referent Country. In the document there should be clearly specified the business activity, for example retailing of clothes and accessories.IMPORTANT: the VAT number or any country’s tax codes, without any further specific documentation, cannot be accepted.
- The attendee’s passport’s copy. We need the first page with the passport’s details (issuance, expiry, number, attendee’s name and family name) and the back page where the attendee’s work is specified. ALWAYS, BOTH FOR REGISTERED AND NEW VISITORS.
- In case the job is not specified, we need to receive a certification on a company letterhead specifying the attendee’s role inside the company. ALWAYS, BOTH FOR REGISTERED AND NEW VISITORS.

After the reception of all the requested documents, our staff will decide whether the invitation letter can be issued.

IMPORTANT:

- In case of fairs on payment, invitation letters are issued only after the purchase of prepaid tickets. However the purchase cannot be made before the reception of all the required documents and our confirmation of the invitation letter’s issuance.

- The invitation letter is a formal invitation, but Pitti Immagine cannot be charged of any expense the attendee is going to afford for their attendance to the fair.
