Visa Situation:

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, for tourism or business. Most conference attendees will be valid under a Business category of the VWP as eligible visitors are able to attend a scientific, educational, professional, or business convention or conference. Travelers must be eligible to use the VWP and have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel. You must also have a round trip ticket indicating return passage to a country outside the United States. For more information: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visa-waiver-program.html#reference.

If you are eligible to travel on the VWP, but prefer to have a visa in your passport, you may still apply for a visitor (B) visa. The 38 eligible countries for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) can be found here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visa-waiver-program.html.

In order to travel without a visa on the VWP, you must have authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to boarding a U.S. bound air or sea carrier. The automated web-based system allows you to determine your eligibility to travel without a visa to the United States. Visit the ESTA webpage on the CBP website for more detailed information, to apply for ESTA, and pay the fee. If you do not meet eligibility requirements for the VWP then you must apply for a visa.

Each traveler must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your planned departure from the United States. Please refer to the above website for country-specific information on the correct type of passport. 

If you need a letter of invitation or a letter confirming acceptance of your proposal to present at the conference, please contact Cindy Lemek, Association Manager for CORD and SDHS, at c.lemek@cordance.org.
