Other Visas
Citizens of foreign countries wishing to enter the United States must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler’s passport, a travel document issued by the traveler’s country of citizenship. Certain international travelers may be eligible to travel to the U.S. without a visa if they meet the requirements for visa-free travel under the Visa Waiver Program. Having a visa will allow you to travel to a port of entry, airport or land border crossing, and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspector to enter the U.S. While having a visa does not guarantee entry to the U.S., it does indicate that you are eligible to seek entry for that specific purpose.
Visas fall under two categories: Non-immigrant visas, which are for travel to the U.S. on a temporary basis; and Immigrant visas, which are for travel to live permanently in the U.S. There are many different types of visas that can be issued under these categories, but sometimes individuals need to enter the U.S. for reasons not covered by other common types of visas.
