Visa Help

Seattle Worldcon 2025 is dedicated to supporting the widest possible range of participants. Citizens from over 40 countries do not require a visa to travel to Seattle. More information may be found at the USA.gov Visa Waiver Program and ESTA application. If you are a citizen of a country that does not participate in the waiver program, you will need to begin the process of applying for a nonimmigrant visa. We urge you to begin this process as early as possible, as it may take several months depending on wait times in your country. Please note that the DS-160 form is generally the only form you need to complete prior to your interview. Very rarely will you need to bring any supporting documents. If you have any specific questions, we welcome your inquiry at visahelp@seattlein2025.org.
