The United States is one of the most visited countries in the world. It is also one of the countries with the highest influx of migrant travelers. For this reason, the country has a strict visa policy.
If you are interested in traveling to this country for tourism, academic or business purposes, you may need to apply for a visitor or tourist visa or, if possible, renew a previously issued visa.
Can I travel to the United States without a visa?
You may be eligible for a visa waiver if you are traveling to the United States from a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) country.
Types of visas that are available
The visitor visa, also known as the tourist visa, is a type of nonimmigrant visa for temporary entry into the United States. The categories are:
- B-1 Visa for Business/Conference
- B-2 Visa: For tourism, family visits, and medical treatment.
The Department of State has a visa search tool to help you simplify the process of figuring out which visa you need to apply for.

How do I renew a tourist visa for travel to the United States?
All foreign nationals must renew their tourist or visitor visas in their country of origin or residence at a U.S. embassy or consulate in that country. Only diplomatic visa holders will be exempt.
The renewal process for a tourist visa is the same as the initial process, contrary to what you might think.
Even if you have a valid life that is about to expire, you must repeat the entire process; renewal will only increase your eligibility to receive a visa to travel to the United States again.
