Visa Consultation Letters for Esports Professionals

Understanding O-1A and P-1A Visas
What is an O-1A Visa?
The O-1A visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability in their field, including esports. This visa is typically granted to top-tier esports professionals who have demonstrated outstanding achievements through competition wins, media recognition, sponsorships, and other industry contributions.
What is a P-1A Visa?
The P-1A visa is for internationally recognized athletes, including esports players competing at a professional level. This visa is designed for players who are part of a team or competing in events that require international recognition and skill.
How a Consultation Letter Helps Your Visa Application
A peer consultation letter is a document from a recognized industry organization (like ESTA) that provides expert validation of an applicant’s qualifications. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) often requires these letters as part of the visa application process. ESTA’s letters help confirm:
✅ Your recognition as a professional in the esports industry
✅ The legitimacy of your competitions and achievements
✅ Your eligibility under the O-1A or P-1A visa requirements
