Step three: Apply for travel authorization if you’re traveling to #ADSA2026 from outside the United States

All international travelers joining us must have a valid travel authorization. Depending on the purpose of your trip to Wisconsin, you can obtain a visa or an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).

For a stay of fewer than 90 days, obtaining a visa to travel to Wisconsin is unnecessary if you are a citizen of 1 of the 38 countries in the US Visa Waiver Program; simply apply for an ESTA travel authorization online.
African and South American citizens: You cannot travel to the United States with an ESTA. Instead, you must apply for a B1 visa. Start your request early! The processing time for a B1 visa can take a few weeks to a few months.
