Visas for non-US Passports

Travelers that reside in the United States (i.e., have a "Green Card" or Alien Registration Card, long-term US visa in their passport, etc.) can apply for a visa in the US. If the traveler does not reside in the US, he/she must obtain a visa in their home country. In other words, if you are in a country on vacation or a short business trip, you cannot apply for a visa to another country; it must be done in the country in which you reside. 

 

In addition to all the other listed requirements, applicants without a US Passport MUST provide proof of their US status, usually in the form of a notarized copy of the front and back of their "Green Card" or Alien Registration Card or copy of the US Visa in their passport. Some countries such as India require non-US passport holders to also fill out a separate information page - see each country page for details.

 

If you do not see a country listed on our site, you may be required to obtain the visa in person or there may may be special requirements; call our office or email us with questions.
