Visa Application
Visit for more information: http://www.nationalacademies.org/visas All foreign participants should apply for their visas as early as possible--we are recommending at least 3 months before the meeting. However, some consulates may have backlogs in scheduling visa interviews so you should first contact the consulate to find out how long the wait is for an interview.
