For participants from outside the United States:  Visitor authorization and Visa: NEW REGULATIONS

There are new regulations that may affect individuals who did not need a visa before (for example, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, South Korea, etc.).  Even if you do not need a visa, you may still need to fill out a “Travel authorization” in order to enter the United States.  Please visit the above website for current rules pertaining to your specific country of origin.  

If a visa is required for your country, we may be able to assist you:

Information about Invitation Letters for Visa Applications

If you do not need a visa because you are a national or citizen of a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) country, you will still be required to obtain travel authorization prior to initiating travel to the United States.  There are currently 35 VWP countries, mostly in Europe, Japan, Australia, South Korea, etc.  This authorization can be obtained online through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).  For further details, see: https://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html. The application process can be done electronically at:  https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.
