Visa Invitation Letters

We require the payment of one-half of a conference registration fee before we send a letter of invitation for visa purposes to persons who are not conference presenters. If a visa application is rejected and we are provided documentation that confirms the rejection, we will refund the deposit completely. We may additionally request a curriculum vitae/biosketch, or reference to an academic or corporate webpage of a biographical nature, before we send a visa letter.
