Before traveling to the U.S., a citizen of a foreign country must generally obtain a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. The type of visa you will need is based on the purpose of your travel: visit, study, work, immigrate. Please visit the U.S. Department of State Visa website for more information on how to apply for a visa for business travel to attend the ISA Annual Convention.
