A Reminder for International VisitorsSubmit Visa Applications Early!
 Applying for a visa can sometimes be a lengthy process. We suggest you start early and begin the application process four to five months before PAG. DO NOT wait for your abstract acceptance before you begin. We cannot stress enough how important it is to start your application early, to ensure you have all the necessary documents in time for the conference. Visit our website for more info, and a link to request a Letter of Invitation, should you need one for your visa application.
