Fees, processing times and validity for United States depend on your nationality, the category you apply under and the mission handling it — and they change. Rather than print a figure we have not confirmed, we give you the real one for your passport when you enquire. The checklist below is useful to you right now.

Document checklist

A preparation checklist, not a legal requirement list. It covers what a tourist visa application is built from, so you can start gathering today. The definitive list — exact photo specifications, financial thresholds, and what must be original, translated or apostilled — comes from the mission handling your nationality. Ask us and we will confirm yours.

Before you submit

  • Names and dates must match across every document, including the spelling in your passport.
  • Keep a full copy of what you submit — you will need it for renewals and later applications.
  • Do not book non-refundable travel until the visa is in your passport.
  • Never submit a document you know to be false. A refusal for deception follows you across countries for years.
