International Attendees: Visa Information

Noncitizen attendees who are traveling to the United States to attend an NBIA event may need to obtain a temporary visa to enter the country. However, citizens of the 37 nations that participate in the Visa Waiver Program may be eligible to visit the United States without a visa. Click here to view the list of countries in the Visa Waiver Program.

NBIA encourages conference attendees who need to obtain visas to start the application process at least three months before the event. If you are uncertain of the visa requirements for your country, you can find more information through your U.S. embassy or consulate.
