Visa Information — Abstracts submitted from outside the United States
International abstract submitters who plan to attend the 6th World Congress on Electroporation in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA may need to apply for a visa to travel to the meeting. Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. For general information on U.S. visas and the Visa Waiver Program (which allows citizens of participating countries to travel to the U.S. for business or tourism for up to 90 days without a visa, with prior ESTA authorization), please see https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html and https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visa-waiver-program.html. Please be aware that processing times for visas can be lengthy, and recent U.S. travel policies may affect some applicants. An official invitation letter will be sent to abstract submitters who indicate “Yes” that a letter is needed upon receipt of their abstract submission.
