Visa Requirements
If you are looking to travel to the USA there are several visa options. The simplest is entering America on a visa waiver which allows you to stay for 3 months. You do not have to apply for this visa.
If you wish to stay longer you will need to apply for a B2 visa (holiday visa). This requires a visit to the US Consulate in your home country. This B2 visa allows you to stay for 6 months and is extendable for another 6 months without leaving the US.
If you are looking to work during your stay then the J1 visa (student visa) is required. We are currently working with a company that issues J visas however to secure this visa you will need to meet certain requirements. Let us know if you are interested in securing a J visa.
Note: there are no guarantees with the success of visa applications/approvals. |
