About Monterey

The phrase “Monterey County” has many meanings. Monterey is a huge, complex hodgepodge of nooks and crannies scattered along California’s Central Coast, containing as disparate and contradictory features as the gleaming beaches of Carmel and the gritty oil fields of San Ardo.

The human communities that settled into the region echoed that physical diversity, and today you can still hear the accents of the 1930s Oklahoma and Arkansas in Prunedale, or the powerful African American accents from Arkansas in Seaside. The historic patterns are still reflected in Salinas’ old Chinatown on Soledad Street, and the Sicilian community on Spaghetti Hill above Monterey.

Today, despite the homogenizing power of recent immigrants from Silicon Valley and modern global technology, it is still possible on a weekend to attend a Swiss picnic, a Chinese New Year celebration, or a Japanese-centered Buddhist festival. Some things in Monterey County have changed considerably. And some not at all.

Attention International Participants

We recommend that you apply for your visa at least two months in advance due to security related policies that have greatly increased the processing time for visa applications.

U.S. consular officers now interview most applicants as part of the application process. This can add additional time and delays. Currently there is a mandatory security check period of 30 days for people whose passports are issued from several countries, including China, North Korea, and most middle-eastern countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department requires citizens of many countries to obtain visas to attend any scientific program.

As of October 26, 2004, visa waiver travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries must present either a machine-readable passport or a U.S. visa.
