High Growth SMEs, Innovation and Intellectual Assets: Strategic Issues and Policies

Visa Information

Many OECD Delegates will qualify under the United States Visa Waiver Program (VWP).  For those members, observers, and qualified guests not from a VWP country, the OECD Secretariat will as a matter of courtesy forward your name and organization to the United States government for forwarding to the appropriate U.S. consulate in your country.  By doing so, the organizers hope this might facilitate your visa application.  It is essential you follow application requirements as expressed to you by the U.S. consulate.  Our efforts are merely to note with the consulate your expected attendance at our event in Kansas City, Missouri.

NOTE: The International Trade Administration, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the Kauffman Foundation have no control nor influence over the process set by the United States Department of State.  Issuance of a visa is solely at the discretion of the United States Department of State.
