International Visitors

InfoComm is attended by visitors from over 90 countries. The Show is supported by the U.S. Department of Commerce International Buyers Program (IBP); visit your U.S. Embassy or consulate to find out more about this program, as there may be an opportunity to join a delegation from your country. Please review the following visa information and begin the process immediately!

Visas
Starting October 26, 2004, visa waiver travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries must present either a machine-readable passport or a U.S. visa. In the interest of facilitating travel, the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection Bureau (CBP) has given officials at ports of entry the discretionary authority to grant one-time exemptions on a case-by-case basis to certain VWP travelers without a visa or MRP, who are nationals of twenty-two (22) of twenty-seven (27) VWP countries. Nationals of the following five (5) countries are already required to present an MRP for admission under the VWP, and therefore this one-time exemption procedure will not apply to VWP travelers from Andorra, Belgium, Brunei, Liechtenstein and Slovenia.

Please visit the U.S. Department of State's website (www.travel.state.gov/visa/) for an up-to-date list of participating countries.

Apply for a Visa as Soon as Possible
You are advised to apply for a visa as early as possible, since it may take between 3 and 4 months to obtain your visa. An interview at the consular office may be required. For information about the visa application process, please review the information on the U.S. Department of State's website at www.travel.state.gov/ and www.travel.state.gov/visa/index.html.

Please note: InfoComm International cannot assist you with the visa application or interview process. InfoComm International cannot contact the embassy or consulate on your behalf to support your visa application.

Requesting a Letter of Invitation to InfoComm
Please submit your request for a letter of invitation by completing the online Request for Letter of Invitation. Each person requiring a visa must complete an online request and must supply a passport number. Your Letter of Invitation will be sent via U.S. mail, unless you wish to provide your account number for international UPS or FedEx in the Notes box on the online request form. You may also request a faxed copy or PDF to be emailed to you.

Please note: Embassy Consular offices generally require more than a month to schedule an interview and process visas.
