Guidelines

To attend IMF press events, please see following guidelines regarding acceptance of credentials:

All media holding valid and current accreditation from the following bodies may be granted access, upon display of their hard passes: IMF, US House and Senate Galleries, US Treasury, White House, Foreign Press Center, US State Department, or United Nations. Please be ready to show your credentials at the IMF visitor center. All visitors need to be escorted to enter IMF buildings.
All media holding other bona fide press credentials may be granted access with prior notice and clearance by the IMF Press Office of at least one business day before an event. Copies of these credentials must be provided to the IMF in a timely fashion and are subject to review and confirmation.
Stringers or freelancers who do not hold the above-mentioned credentials must contact the IMF Press Office at least 48 hours prior notice to register for any scheduled event and provide a valid signed assignment letter on letterhead from a bona fide news organization or publication. They will be granted or denied entry on a case-by-case and one-time-only basis.
In all cases, the IMF reserves the right to deny access to any member of the media, in its discretion.
