Home International AttendeesThe Academy welcomes all international attendees to the 2006 Academy Annual Meeting to experience exceptional O&P education. To assist international attendees the Academy has provided information on entering the United States.Temporary visitors to the U.S. Determine if you need a visa. Citizens of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) do not need a U.S. visa for business or tourism visits of less than 90 days, but must have a machine-readable passport. For more information, visit: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/temp_1305.html. Visa Types for Temporary Visitors There are several types of visas for temporary visitors to the U.S. The type of visa needed is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. For information specific to each visa type, visit: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1286.html Travel Without a Visa U.S. visa policy permits citizens of certain countries to travel to the U.S. without a visa. For information on the Visa Waiver Program and travel for Citizens of Canada, Mexico and Bermuda visit: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1261.html Visa Wait Times Advance travel planning and early visa application are important, since visa applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past.
