International Travel Information

Visitor Visas

Most visitors to the U.S. require a visa to enter the country, unless they are coming from a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program and possess a Machine-Ready Passport (MRP). In order for most international participants to attend the Annual Meeting, participants will need to secure a visitor visa through the U.S. Department of State. This process may need to begin months ahead of your trip. Consult Visa Services for detailed information about the procedure and view the list of U.S. Embassies and Consulates Web Sites. It is also helpful to review the visa wait times for visa appointments.
