Obtaining A Visa

• Many countries require foreign nationals to obtain a visa.
  • The U. S. State Department provides information about every country including visa requirements for U. S. citizens traveling overseas on tourism or business.

• If a visa required for entry, you will need to:
  • Apply for one well in advance.
  • Have passport photographs taken.
  • Obtain the appropriate visa application form.
  • Send in the application with supporting documentation, which may include:
    • A valid passport expiring after the visa.
    • A flight itinerary.
    • A receipt of your return ticket.
    • A certification of good conduct.
    • Fingerprints.
    • Immunization records.
    • An invitation letter.

• Because your application may get lost or delayed, it is best to use a reputable visa service.
