International Travel

Visa Requirements

Temporary visas will be needed for international travelers (citizens of other countries), coming to the U.S. temporarily. This visa allows you to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (airport, for example) and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security immigration inspector to enter the U.S. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States.

Most Canadian citizens and many citizens from Visa Waiver Program countries can come to the U.S. without a visa if they meet certain requirements. Visa waiver travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program countries must present a machine-readable passport at the U.S. port of entry to enter the U.S. without a visa; otherwise a U.S. visa is required

Planning in advance is a crucial step to getting your visa. Please apply for your visa well ahead of time. This will assist you to prepare to travel successfully and comfortably.

Please consider the following steps:

Review your visa status, and find out if you need a U.S. visa or a renewal.
Review the visa wait times information for interview appointments and visa processing at each embassy and consular section worldwide at the US DEPARTMENT OF STATE WEBSITE (www.travel.state.gov). Visit the embassy or consular section website where you will apply for your visa to find out how to schedule an interview appointment, pay fees and any other instructions.
Plan on an interview at the embassy or consulate, which is required for most visa applicants. As part of the visa interview, quick inkless fingerprint scans should be expected. Some visa applications require additional administrative processing, which requires some additional time.

We strongly urge you to visit the US DEPARTMENT OF STATE website at www.travel.state.gov for more detailed information regarding visa requirements to enter in the US.
