Visa Information
If you require a visa to enter the U.S. to attend the 15th
World Congress on ITS, apply now. Even if you didn't need a visa
for previous visits to the U.S., you are encouraged to double check
the current requirements. U.S. regulations now require security
checks for most visitor visas, a process that may take six months
or more. Citizens of certain countries must have an invitation in
hand before they can obtain a passport from their government, and
then apply for a U.S. visa. Additional information on the U.S. visa
application process is available at www.itsworldcongress.org. To
