Most international attendees visiting the United States will need to apply for a visa through the U.S. Department of State.
Visa applications are now subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. The visa application process can take several weeks. Please allow enough time for your application to be processed: Calculate your wait time.
Please note the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) for travel to and from the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda.
It is important to thoroughly review all information on the specific Embassy's Consular Section website for local procedures and instructions on making an interview appointment, paying fees and checking on the status of your visa application. Find the consulate for your country by selecting the associated region.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows citizens of participating countries to travel to the United States without a visa for stays of 90 days or less, when they meet all requirements explained below. Travelers must be eligible to use the VWP and have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel.
