ESTA offers Consultation Letter service for US visa applications

Posted : 01 August 2023
The Esports Trade Association (ESTA) has introduced a new Consultation Letter service to assist esports talent in their US visa applications. The aim of this service is to support professional players, coaches, event organizers, and others in obtaining the required Consultation Letter, which is essential in the US visa application process.
 
The ESTA, dedicated to fostering growth in esports, will provide Consultation Letters to both its members and non-members who are applying for O & P visas to enter the United States. O & P visas are specific categories of US visas that allow entry for athletes and entertainment professionals, including esports professionals participating in esports events in the US.
 
Among the various types of visas available to esports talent, the P-1A visa is commonly used, requiring the applicant to be an internationally recognized athlete participating in an internationally notable event in the US.
 
Consultation Letters are a crucial requirement for foreign nationals seeking US visas, typically provided by peer groups, labor organizations (such as unions), or management organizations in the applicant's field. The Esports Trade Association will function as a peer group for esports professionals to facilitate this service.
 
In recent years, there have been notable cases of professional esports players facing visa issues, leading to their inability to participate in esports tournaments based in the US. While esports gains increasing recognition worldwide, obtaining visas for esports competitions remains a recurring challenge in the industry.
 
Justin M. Jacobson Esq., an esports and video game attorney and member of the Esports Trade Association, emphasized the significance of this initiative in bolstering the nation's esports scene.

He noted that receiving a Consultation Letter is beneficial in an individual's visa application and becomes even more crucial in light of recent visa denials impacting the national esports ecosystem.
