Visa Information
Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a non-immigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Visitor visas are non-immigrant visas for persons who want to enter the United States temporarily for business (visa category B-1), tourism, pleasure or visiting (visa category B-2), or a combination of both purposes (B-1/B-2). For more information, please visit the website here.
Canadian citizens generally do NOT require a visa to enter the United States (details here), although there are some exceptions. Canadian citizens DO however require a passport.
Visa Waiver Program
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. Travelers must be eligible to use the VWP and have a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel. For more information, please visit the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) site.
We encourage all attendees who need a visa to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Visa support letters confirming conference registration, and talk/poster acceptance, will be issued only if your registration for the in-person meeting is complete and full payment has been received. Email evolution.meetings@gmail.com to request a letter. Registration fees will be reimbursed if your visa is declined and you cannot attend.
