Visas Services

A visa is issued by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. A visa entitles the holder to travel to the United States and apply for admission; it does not guarantee entry. An immigration inspector at the port of entry determines the visa holder's eligibility for admission into the United States.

Who needs a visa?

Anyone who is not eligible to enter the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) . Please note: Travelers born in the United States and those who hold dual citizenship with the United States must enter and depart the United States on U.S. passports .

What type of visas are available?

Apply Early: Recent changes in U.S. visa laws and regulations have increased the amount of time it can take to get a visa. Stricter security measures require more thorough checks and lengthen the visa application process but ensure the safety of visitors and U.S. citizens alike.

Even with significant improvements being made in speeding up visa processing, it is inevitable that delays will sometimes occur. Therefore, it is important to apply as early as possible for your visa and to avoid booking non-refundable travel until after a visa is issued.
