United States Transit Visa

AirlinesOffice.com  »  Transit Visa  »  United States

Typically, individuals visiting the United States from foreign countries must secure a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stays or an immigrant visa for permanent residency.

Transit visas, also known as C Visas, are nonimmigrant visas designated for individuals passing through the United States on their way to another country, with some exceptions. Immediate and continuous transit entails promptly departing the country as travel permits, assuming a prearranged itinerary without extended layover privileges.

If a traveler intends to pause for purposes other than transit, such as visiting friends or sightseeing, they must qualify for the appropriate visa type for that purpose.

If you possess a valid visitor (B) visa, it might be possible to use it for transit through the United States. Additionally, citizens of participating countries may transit the United States under the Visa Waiver Program.
