U.S. Visa application requirements and guidance.
Individuals entering the U.S. for temporary employment require a work visa. If you are entering the U.S. as a tourist or for a short-term business trip, a visa may not be required if your country of nationality is visa exempt or participates in the Visa Waiver program. More information can be found here.
The first step to applying for a U.S. visa is to complete the DS-160. After submitting the application, you must pay the MRV fee and book an appointment at the appropriate consulate. The booking process varies by consulate. Please refer to the homepage of your specific location for further instructions.
