The B Visitor visa category allows visitors to travel to the USA for the purpose of business or tourism. The B-1 visa is for those who wish to enter the US solely for business and the B-2 visa is for those entering the USA solely for tourism. Often, a person’s activity in the US will involve a mix of business and tourism and therefore a Consular Officer may issue the visa as a combined B-1/B-2 visa so the applicant can engage in both business and tourism activities.

Most British, Irish and other European country passport holders may enter the US for up to 90 days a trip for the purpose of business or tourism.

You hold a passport from a country that does not participate in the US Visa Waiver Program.
