Visas

Apply for your visa as early as possible and at least 90 days prior to your departure date. The U.S. has updated its visa policies to increase security for both citizens and visitors. It will likely take you longer to get a visa than it used to, and you will find that a few new security measures have been put into place. For details that may apply specifically to your country, see information posted by your nearest consulate or embassy. Please visit www.travel.state.gov/visa for the most current information on visa policies, how to get a visa, and visa news.
