For International Attendees… Apply for your visa NOW!  

As an international attendee or exhibitor traveling to the MiaGreen Expo & Conference you may need a valid visa to enter the U.S.

Travelers from certain eligible countries may be able to visit the U.S. without a visa, through the Visa Waiver Program. View a list of VWP countries.

If you are from a country that does not participate in the VWP, you will need to apply for a visa and make an appointment with your U.S. Embassy or Consulate for a visa interview. You can receive a letter of invitation from MiaGreen to support your visa request.

What to do to apply for a visa…
