Visa Letter Requests
If you need a letter confirming your convention registration to help facilitate your efforts in obtaining a visa, we can provide a confirmation letter once you have registered for the convention and the payment has been processed.
Once you meet these two requirements, please e-mail convention@stti.org with your full name and registration confirmation ID number.
Please let us know if you are also a presenter.
Once your information is verified, the confirmation letter for your visa application will be e-mailed to you.
Your request will be processed within 10 business days. Requests for confirmation letters must be submitted by Wednesday, 28 September 2011. Requests for mailed letters will be reviewed and additional fees will apply. The confirmation letter does not guarantee you will receive a visa. Confirmation letters will only state the convention title, dates, location, payment confirmation of registration fees and that you are a presenter if applicable. If you are denied a visa, we will provide you a full refund so long as we are notified BEFORE Thursday, 27 October 2011. Attendees are advised to apply for a visa as early as possible.
