Certain international travelers may be eligible to travel to the United States
without a visa if they meet the requirements for visa-free travel.
It is the responsibility of MASCC/ISOO 2019
participants to obtain a visa if required. Annual Meeting participants should
familiarize themselves with visa requirements well in advance of the Annual
Meeting. The MASCC/ISOO organizers encourage you to apply for a visa as early
as possible, at least 3 to 4 months before the Annual Meeting.
Complete information on how to apply for a
visa to enter the USA can be found on the U.S. Department of State's website.
Q: Where can I get an Annual Meeting invitation letter so that I
can apply for a visa?
A: An official, personalized letter of
invitation will be provided to registered participants as a part of the
registration procedure. This invitation is prepared solely for visa
applications and is not a commitment on the part of the organizers to provide
any financial support or confirmation of inclusion in the Scientific Program.
Invitation letters can be provided electronically (PDF) or as a hard copy, if
required. Hard copies will be mailed via regular post, free of charge. In case
of a special delivery (courier) request, a participant will be responsible for
all charges.

Registration Department through the "Contact Us" button.
Q: Is it possible to send an official invitation letter directly to
