The process for obtaining a visa requires each individual to submit an application through a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate. This is a process that MUST be done by the applicant – the organising committee cannot do it for you! The information contained in this document was current at the time of distribution. For updated information regarding visa requirements when traveling to the United States of America, please refer to following websites: ESTA – The Official U.S. Government Website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ U.S. Dept. of State: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/temp_1305.html Locate an Embassy: http://www.usembassy.gov/ VISA WAIVER PROGRAMME COUNTRIES

Andora France Liechtenstein San Marino Austria Germany Lithuania Singapore Australia Greece Luxembourg Slovakia Belgium Hungary Malta Slovenia Brunei Iceland Monaco South Korea Czech Republic Ireland The Netherlands Spain Denmark Italy New Zealand Sweden Estonia Japan Norway Switzerland Finland Latvia Portugal United Kingdom

NOTE: IF YOUR COUNTRY IS LISTED AS A “VISA WAIVER PROGRAMME” COUNTRY, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE ON-LINE ESTA APPLICATION AT https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REVIEW THE ELIGIBILITY AND PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE YOU MEET ALL THE CRITERIA BEFORE MAKING YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS.

Most categories of visas may be issued to an applicant up to 60 days before its effective date. HOWEVER, it cannot be emphasised enough that the letter of invitation and application process should start as early as possible. Participants from countries subject to additional clearances should be especially conscientious about applying early, since the State Department will not guarantee that ANY cases will be expedited.

Letter of Invitation – For those countries not listed above on the VISA waiver programme, the OC can issue you a Letter of Invitation to use in your application process, upon request. Full name, Birthday, passport number are required. At time of travel, passports should have at least 6 months before expiration.

How long should you expect the process to take? There is no standard timeframe for how long it takes to get an appointment for a visa interview and it can vary dramatically.

It cannot be emphasized enough to start the application process early. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND – We cannot guarantee you will receive a VISA and we cannot provide special clearances, if you are denied or apply too late.
