Participants requiring a letter of invitation in order to attend the Congress are asked to fill in the form to request an online personalised letter of invitation<https://participants.congrex.com/scripts/jmevent/Registration.asp?Client_Id=%27CSLG%27&Project_Id=%27110803IL%27&Form_Id=1&Form_Number=2&Stand_Id=0&A=&Language_Code=&template_id>. This must be submitted to the relevant Embassy together with a copy of your registration confirmation. Please note that this procedure aims to assist participants who need to obtain a visa or permission to attend the Congress. It is not an official invitation covering fees and other expenses, nor does it imply any financial support from the Congress. Please make arrangements for your visa as soon as possible. The procedure may take longer than expected for various reasons and can take up to two months in some cases. When filling out visa application forms, please ensure that you *do not*state that you are going to work in Puerto Rico, even though visiting a congress may be considered work. Entering the country as a Tourist is the most suitable, in previous years delegates have been refused entry to a country if it was thought that the delegate came to the country to work. *USA Visa Waiver Program (ESTA)* To strengthen the security of travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, requirements to travel visa-free have been enhanced. Nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries will still be eligible to travel without a visa but will have to obtain an approved travel authorisation and will be required to pay an administrative fee prior to their travel to the United States.
