Visas - Travelling to the United States


     Visiting the United States for vacation or business is becoming a popular thing to do. Citizens from other countries usually will need a visa to enter the U.S., but a visa does not guarantee entry. A visa simply means you are eligible to enter, and an immigration officer will determine the need for travel beyond the point of entry. For tourism or vacation purposes, only a nonimmigrant visa is required. For information on obtaining a visa visit www.unitedstatesvisas.gov.
