VISA
INFORMATION
All
accepted authors will receive an official invitation letter
in the mail. If the mailing address and name of the author
attending the conference are different than those submitted
with your initial paper, please send an email to calgary@iasted.org
with the correct and complete contact information and the
paper number.
Visa regulations
can be complex and often change. For example, the U.S. has
recently updated its visa policies and implemented new security
measures in order to increase national security. Visa applications
are now subject to a greater degree of scrutiny and as a
result the visa application process will likely take longer
than it has in the past. Therefore, IASTED recommends that
all delegates verify visa requirements with the Peruvian
Consulate in their own country as soon as possible. For
a listing of a Peruvian consulate in your home country see
