Visa requirements for entry into the United States depend on your country of residence. All players are required to make their own arrangements for procuring a visa. A review of the procedures for applying for a US visa may be found at travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html
If you require an invitation, you must register for the tournament first and submit your invitation request with invoice number to VegasChess@gmail.com or on our contact page. Please place “Request for invitation for visa application” in the subject line and include all relevant details including legal name, date of birth, passport number, and mailing address. If the player will be accompanied by a coach or family member that person’s information should also be included.
You may register online at www.vegaschessfestival.com/register/enter-now. If your visa application is denied you may request a full refund. You may be asked to provide proof that the application was turned down.
