TRAVEL VISA POLICIES
Authors and attendees of IEEE conferences are responsible for obtaining visas from the
host country they are planning to visit. Travelers should check the host country's policies, and if a visa
is required, obtain it from the appropriate foreign consular representative before proceeding abroad.
Applicants for visas should generally apply at the embassy or consulate with jurisdiction over their place
of permanent residence, as it may be more difficult to qualify for the visa outside their country of permanent
residence. Once received, visas should be reviewed to ensure there are no mistakes. Processing and visa fees
vary, and fees may not be refundable.
With security policies tightening around the world, adequate time should be allowed for processing visa
applications. Applicants should initiate the process as early in their travel planning as possible.
The embassy or consulate of the conference's host country should be consulted for specific details.
Information regarding U.S. visa policy is available online at
http://travel.state.gov/.
