From Abroad

International travellers should bear in mind that the US requires a visa for visitors from most countries. More information on visitor visas for business / tourism can be found on the US government website.

If you're lucky enough to be a citizen of a visa waiver country, you may not need a visitor visa to enter the US. However, you will need an ESTA authorization.

(Nationals of Canada or Bermuda may also be exempt from the visa requirements.)

Invitation letters: Visitor visa applicants may need letters or other documents indicating the purpose of their visit, evidence of funds to cover accommodation and food, and so on. The PyCon organizers are happy to provide an invitation letter if you need one; we do suggest, however, that you check with your local embassy or consulate, as requirements differ from country to country.
