Visa Application

The U.S. government requires residents of many countries to obtain a temporary visa before entering the U.S. It is very important to apply for your visa at least 90 days prior to your departure. The information below provides important links and details that should make the entire process easier for you. If you need assistance, please contact NAB Show Customer Service at +1 (202) 595-2052 or email register@nab.org.

Requesting a Letter of Invitation

 

Obtaining a Letter of Invitation from NAB will not guarantee that you will be approved for a visa. The Letter is merely supplementary information that explains a visa applicant’s intended purpose to travel. U.S. Embassy officers look at the totality of an applicant’s personal situation in determining visa eligibility.

1. Complete your NAB Show online registration form - Include your email address, date of birth and passport number.
2. Your Letter of Invitation will be automatically and immediately emailed to you.
3. Print the letter in color and submit it along with your visa application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate.

After April 1 2010, NAB will not be able to process any new requests for a Letter of Invitation. Complete one request for each person requiring a Letter of Invitation. Only requests submitted via the online registration form will be processed.

Visa Waiver Program

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables citizens of 35 countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for 90 days or less without obtaining a visa.

Visitors from VWP countries must register online for travel authorization with ESTA 72 hours ahead of travel. Otherwise, a U.S. visa is required. For more information, visit the Visa Waiver Program Web site.

International Media

International members of the media should have a non-immigrant media (I) Visa, since using the visa waiver program to work as a journalist in the U.S. will not guarantee entry. More information about the I-Visa can be found on the U.S. Embassy's Web site for your home country. Visit the U.S. State Department's Web site to find the appropriate Embassy's Web site.
