      The United States visa policy includes a wide range of options depending on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and how long you plan to stay. Citizens of countries in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) can travel to the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa, but must first apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) online.
Nationals from other countries must apply for a non-immigrant visa for short stays, such as the B1/B2 visa for tourism, business meetings, or medical treatment. These visas are typically valid for multiple entries and long validity periods, often up to 10 years, depending on the applicant’s nationality.
The U.S. also offers a variety of work and study visas, including the H-1B visa for skilled professionals, the L-1 visa for intra company transfers, and the F-1 visa for international students.

The B1 visa is for business travelers (e.g. attending meetings or conferences), while the B2 visa is for tourism, vacations, or medical visits. Most travelers receive a combined B1/B2 visa.
An ESTA allows stays of up to 90 days. Most visitors with a B1/B2 visa are allowed to stay up to 6 months, but the exact length is decided by the immigration officer upon arrival.
You can apply for your ESTA through the government or iVisa (or download our mobile app).
For Visitor Visas, you’ll need to complete the DS-160 application form, pay the visa fee, and schedule an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
Supporting documents like your passport, photo, and purpose of travel are required.
No. A B1/B2 visa or ESTA does not permit any kind of employment. You must apply for a work visa, such as an H-1B or L-1, if you plan to take a job in the U.S.
No, stays on an ESTA authorization can not be extended. If you entered the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa, you can sometimes apply to extend your stay or switch to another visa type at least 45 days before your current one expires. You’ll need to file the right form via the U.S. government.
Overstaying can lead to visa cancellation, fines, or bans on future travel to the U.S. It’s important to leave the country before your visa expires or apply for an extension if eligible.
If you’re just transiting through the United States on your way to another country, you may need a C-1 Transit Visa.

You need a C-1 visa or an approved ESTA, depending on your nationality
You can’t leave the airport unless you have proper entry permission
If you're changing airports or need to stay overnight, you’ll likely need a full visa or ESTA
