Visa information

Traveling to the United States often requires obtaining a visa. Once you register, APS will send a letter of invitation for a visa application. It is very important to plan far in advance and review:

• Visa information for international visitors
• Letter of invitation information

Press registration

Complimentary registration is available for members of the media. Those eligible for press registration include:

• Staff journalists working for editorially independent news outlets
• Freelance science writers and editors
• Public information officers working for scientific institutions
• Students and postdocs enrolled in a science writing program

APS uses a one-time credentialing process to verify eligibility for press registration.

Please contact the APS media team with questions about press registration.
