United States visa requirements
Visa-required foreign nationals must apply for a US B1/B2 visa before traveling to the United States for tourism or business. It is typically issued for multiple entries over a period of up to 10 years, depending on your nationality, and each stay is limited to a maximum of 6 months (180 days).
Visa-exempt travelers are eligible to enter the country under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) with an approved US ESTA for business or tourism for 90 days or less.
General United States visa requirements are:
- Valid passport
- Completed DS-160 online nonimmigrant visa application form
- Passport-size photo
- Supporting documents based on visa type (such as proof of financial means, employment letter, invitation letter, or school admission letter)

United States visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about United States visas.
How long does it take to get a US B1/B2 Tourist Visa?
Processing depends on embassy appointment availability in your country. Most applicants receive a decision within a few weeks of their interview.
What is the difference between a B1 and B2 visa?
A B1 visa covers business activities such as meetings and conferences, while a B2 visa covers tourism, family visits, and medical treatment. They are usually issued together as a B1/B2 visa.
Do I need a US visa or an ESTA?
Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries can travel with an ESTA for stays of up to 90 days. Everyone else needs a visa such as the B1/B2.
Can I extend my US ESTA or B1/B2 Visitor Visa?
ESTA stays cannot be extended. B1/B2 holders may apply for an extension with USCIS before their authorized stay ends.
What happens if I overstay my United States visa?
Overstaying can void your visa and make you ineligible for future visas or the Visa Waiver Program, and may result in a multi-year re-entry ban.
