Visa policy of the United States

The visa policy of the United States deals with the requirements which a foreign national wishing to enter the United States must meet to obtain a visa, which is a permit to travel to, enter and remain in the United States. Visitors to the United States must obtain a visa from one of the United States diplomatic missions unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries or Visa Waiver Program countries. The same rules apply to Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands while slightly different rules apply to Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa.

The United States gives a visitor visa exemption to:

  • Citizens of the Compact of Free Association states: Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau
  • Citizens of Canada, including those applying for TN status at the border
  • Citizens of one of the 38 countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program
  • Citizens of The Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands under certain conditions
