Tour Information

BNL has strict security requirements, especially for non-citizens. Everyone should read the info below.

 

For the BNL tour, non-citizens (including Green Card Holders) MUST go through a vetting process to get access. Please register as soon as possible for the conference and follow the following steps to register as a BNL visitor!   

 

We cannot guarantee that everyone will be allowed to enter BNL, but you maximize your chance if you do these steps ASAP. We will organize an alternative activity for those that are rejected/chose to not go through the process.
