The 4 Basic Types of Travel Visas.

Many distinct visas are required when traveling in a country outside your own country of citizenship. Travel, business, and work are the common reasons to apply for a visa. A visa to the U.S. is a document that allows a non-U.S. citizen or non-permanent resident to apply to visit the United States for a particular reason.

It is a Non-immigrant Visa for a temporary stay or an immigrant Visa for a permanent stay.

Four main sub-types of visa 

Type #1 – Tourist or Business Visa Requirements: 

Regarding tourist or business visas, a non-immigrant visa is for a temporary stay for work purposes or holidays, such as attending a conference, touring a destination, or visiting a family member. You can apply for two types of Visas: B-1/B-2 visa. 

• B-1 for business associates who travel for a scientific, professional, business convention, educational, or conference on specific dates.
• B-2 for recreational travel such as tourism, visits with friends and family, medical treatment and activities, and social or service activities.

Type #2 – Immigration Visa 

An immigration visa permits another person to stay in a country permanently. This is closely related to the naturalization and citizenship process; the citizenship process, also known as naturalization, is the last step in becoming a full citizen of the U.S.

Green Card holders should wait five years before applying for citizenship. There are different ways to get an immigrant visa: family, employment, investment, the diversity lottery, refugee or asylum status, the Registry, and the director of the CIA.

Type #3 – Student Visa

A student visa (F or M) is required to study in the United States. It is also a non-immigrant visa. Foreign nationals studying in the U.S. will need a U.S. F and M Student Visa. This visa includes a group of visas for academics and educational experts going offshore for particular work trips. These types of visas are considered J visas, which might also be work visas.

Type #4 – Work Visa 

If you have a good education, skills, and work experience, you may be able to work permanently in the United States by looking for an employment-based immigrant visa. Some immigrant visa inclinations expect you to have a job offer from a U.S. business. This job will be considered your sponsor.

Many different types of work visas exist: E, H, L, O, P, I, TN/TD, J. Each country wants to ensure that its citizens have priority for the jobs available in that country. Each employment-based visa category contains its requirements for the employment-based visa applicant and their potential employer.
