Visa invitation letters

The visa invitation letter system is online! If you will be applying for a travel visa in order to attend the Giant Jamboree in the fall, you can use the online system to generate a visa invitation letter for your application. See the Visa help page for more information about visas, and instructions on how to obtain your invitation letter.

Giant Jamboree attendees should apply for a B-1 travel visa, which allows the visa holder to attend and present at conferences.
