Visa invitation letters

The visa invitation letter system is online! If you will be applying for a travel visa in order to attend the Giant Jamboree in the fall, you can use this online system to generate a visa invitation letter for your application. See the Visa help page for instructions on how to obtain your invitation letter. Be sure to apply as soon as possible, since the visa application process can often take longer than expected.

Giant Jamboree attendees should apply for a B-1 travel visa, which allows the visa holder to attend and present at conferences.

If your team wants to be evaluated for an award, you will need to document your achievements related to this award on a standard page. For more information and all the template page links, see here: Standard Pages.
