International Attendees

Apply for your VISA EARLY!
Attendees and Exhibitors who are not United States (U.S.) citizens, but will be traveling to the U.S. for the 2025 NSC Spring Safety Conference & Expo and HOP Summit, may need to obtain a temporary VISA to enter the country. 

Official information on U.S. VISA policies and procedures is available from the U.S. Department of State.

U.S. immigration rules have changed, so even if you didn't previously need a VISA, we strongly encourage you review the current VISA Waiver Program requirements.
