International Visitors
International travelers who are seeking to travel to the United States under the
Visa Waiver Program (VWP) are now subject to enhanced security requirements.
As of January 12, 2009, a valid ESTA approval is required for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) to travel to the United States.
The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is a free, automated system used to determine the
eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the VWP.
ESTA applications may be completed free online at the official Department of Homeland Security website.
In addition, international attendees need to be aware of other important changes from the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that will affect international travelers to the United States.
Details of these changes and how they will impact you can be found at the
Department of Homeland Security website.
