Visas & Travel Documents

  • Determine Your Visa Needs: Before anything else, check if you need a visa before entering the United States. Visa requirements vary by country, and it's essential to confirm this information well in advance. (Button: Find out if you need a visa to travel to the United States)
  • Apply Early: If a visa is required, we strongly encourage you to apply as soon as possible. Visa processing times can vary significantly, so early application is key to avoid delays.
