Smart-casual is typical for medical congresses; a jacket or scarf is useful for air-conditioned halls, and comfortable shoes suit Barcelona's paving.

Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Schengen short-stay visa rules apply for Spain. Third-country nationals staying more than 90 days in any 180-day period for work, study or residence need a national visa; shorter business visits fall under the Schengen business visa category (up to 90 days of business activity, excluding paid employment).
Estimated cost: EUR 90 Schengen business visa fee (per captured visa guidance)
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Applicants typically submit a completed form, valid passport, financial proof, accommodation and insurance documents, and a work letter. Verify requirements with the Spanish consulate for your nationality.
