FOR INTERNATIONAL ATTENDEES... APPLY
FOR YOUR VISA NOW!
As an international attendee or exhibitor traveling to the The
Energy Expo you may need a valid visa to enter the U.S.
Travelers from certain eligible countries may be able
to visit the U.S. without a visa, through the Visa Waiver Program. View
a list of VWP countries.
If you are from a country that does not participate in the VWP, you
will need to apply for a visa and make an appointment with your U.S.
Embassy or Consulate for a visa interview. You
can receive a letter of invitation from The Energy Expo to support
your visa request.
What to do to apply for a visa…
-
Register
first for The Energy Expo. In
order to receive a letter of invitation from Show Management you
should register for the event at a non-refundable level of no
less than $80.
