Visa
Requirements and Letter of Invitation
If you require a visa
to enter the United States, please check
with your local American embassy or consulate
to obtain the necessary documents. Please
allow enough time to process your visa.
Visit www.dhs.gov/us-visit for further
information on the visa process.
The organizers of Transcatheter
Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2006, sponsored
by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation,
believe that international participation
and contributions are critical to the
continued success of this important educational
symposium in interventional vascular medicine.
We also recognize that the application
process for a travel visa has become more
complicated and expensive. We are committed
to assisting our international participants
in this process. The Cardiovascular Research
Foundation is pleased to offer a $100
discount to attendees who must obtain
a visa for travel to the US. This discount
will be applied for registrants from those
countries for which the United States
requires a visa. The list can be found
at www.unitedstatesvisas.gov.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation
reserves the right to determine individual
eligibility for this offer and to modify,
and/or cancel, this offer at any time.
On request, the Cardiovascular Research
Foundation is pleased to send an invitation
for participation in TCT 2006. Such an
invitation is not a commitment on the
part of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation
to provide any financial support, nor
is it a guarantee of the acceptance of
an abstract, nor a guarantee that the
consulate will issue the visa. While we
are pleased to provide documentation of
your registration to attend TCT, visa
issuance is at the sole discretion of
the consular officer. Letters of invitation
are sent to only those individuals who
are registered to attend TCT 2006 and
whose payments have been verified. To
request an invitation letter, please contact
the TCT registration bureau .
