Nonimmigrant Visas

Nonimmigrant visas are for international travelers, including citizens of other countries, coming to the U.S. temporarily. This visa allows you to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security immigration inspector to enter the United States. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States.

All applications for nonimmigrant visas should be submitted at our Taipei office.  Our Kaohsiung branch office does not accept nonimmigrant visa applications.

Access to the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit is limited to the following:

• Applicants;
• Parents or legal guardians of applicants under 18 years old;
• Aides of disabled applicants

* Appointment holders must have an appointment confirmation page and may not be admitted more than 30 minutes before or after their appointment time. 

It's Important to Apply Early

When planning for trips to the United States, we encourage you to schedule your appointment as early as possible. This will ensure we have plenty of time to conduct your interview, review your application, and determine whether we can issue a visa. We thank you for your cooperation and interest in visiting our country.
