Travel & Visa

The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are excited to host the 2024 International Conference of Young Scientists and GYA Annual General Meeting in the United States. To enable international participation, a step-by-step visa guidance has been prepared. The most important piece of advice is to apply early!

First steps: 

1. Ensure that your passport does not expire before December 2024. If it does, renew your passport; 

2. Make a visa appointment. Even if the appointment is after the event, once you are in the system, we can help get you an earlier appointment. 

A detailed Visa Guidance document is available for all GYA members and alumni, to guide you through the visa application process. Please e-mail if you need this document and haven’t yet received it.
