VISAS TO THE USA

There are various types of visas to the USA for temporary visitors. The purpose of your travel will determine what type of visa to the USA is required under U.S. immigration law.

The Department of Homeland Security issues approximately 15 million visas to the USA last year to tourists, students, businessmen and skilled workers. Around 3 million of them were refused because applicants did not meet the specified requirements for the type of visa for the USA they applied for. The choice is vast and applicants need to ensure the following points:

  • that they are applying within the correct visa category
  • that they have completed the application form acceptably and accurately
  • that they have submitted all of the correct supporting documents to the right authorities
  • that they have paid the correct fee and undergone biometric tests

Check this table to find more information about the type of visa to the USA you will need for travel, and the steps required to apply for the visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad.

  2. In hopes of creating a more convenient travel experience for visitors, the U.S. Department of State created the Visa Waiver Program, which gives citizens of certain countries the privilege of entering the U.S. without visas.
