P-1A Visa Consultation Letters for Esports Athletes and Teams

Are you a professional esports athlete or team traveling to the U.S. for tournaments or contracts?

The Esports Trade Association (ESTA) provides official peer consultation letters for P-1A visa petitions, recognized across the industry by immigration attorneys and U.S. immigration officers.

What is the P-1A Visa?

The P-1A visa is a nonimmigrant visa for internationally recognized athletes — including individual esports players and teams.

It’s ideal for:

• Athletes entering the U.S. for major competitions or tournaments

• International esports teams signing with U.S.-based organizations

• Players with global reputations seeking temporary U.S. entry

Who Can Use ESTA's P-1A Letter Service?

• Professional esports players with international recognition

• Full teams entering the U.S. for an event, season, or contract

• Tournament organizers supporting players’ visa processes

• Legal teams filing athlete-based petitions

What’s in the Letter?

Our peer consultation letter will:

• Confirm the professional status of the individual or team

• Highlight notable achievements and contributions to the field

• Reference relevant events, competitions, or collaborations

• Be signed by a recognized industry body (ESTA)

Each letter is customized for the beneficiary or team, and is formatted to meet USCIS standards.
