Request a VISA Letter

Apply for your Visa EARLY!

Attendees and Exhibitors who are not United States (U.S) citizens, but will be traveling to the U.S. for the National Safety Council 2009 Congress & Expo, may need to obtain a temporary VISA to enter the country.  We encourage Congress & Expo Attendees and Exhibitors who need to obtain VISAs to start the application process at least three months prior to the NSC 2009 Congress & Expo.

Official information on U.S. VISA policies and procedures is available from the U.S. Department of State.  U.S. immigration rules have changed, so even if you didn't previously need a VISA, we strongly encourage that you review the current Visa Waiver Program requirements.

Updated VISA Waiver Program (VWP)

Beginning January 12, 2009, visitors to the U.S. from VISA Waiver Program (VWP) countries will be required to obtain an authorization via the new Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before traveling to the U.S.  For details on the VWP, visit the U.S. Department of State, VISA Waiver Program.
