Visas

If travelling from outside of Canada, please be sure to check if you need a visa to enter Vancouver. If you require a visa, we recommend applying as soon as you have secured your Web Summit Vancouver ticket. Keep in mind that this process will take some time.

We do not liaise with the government of any country to provide visas. However, we are happy to provide a letter confirming your attendance at Web Summit Vancouver.

Please note: We are unable to refund any tickets on the basis of failure to secure a visa.

Letter of attendance

If needed, we can provide each team member with a letter confirming their attendance in order to supplement their visa application. You can find more information here.
