Do Non-Canadians Need a US Visa to Transit the US?

In general, non-Canadians who are citizens of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) do not need a visa to transit the US, provided they meet certain requirements.

To be eligible for the VWP, non-Canadians must:

  • Be a citizen of a VWP-participating country.
  • Be traveling for business or pleasure.
  • Be staying in the US for 90 days or less.
  • Have a valid passport.
  • Have a return ticket to their home country or to a country that they are permitted to enter without a visa.

Non-Canadians who do not meet the VWP requirements must apply for a visa to transit the US.

To apply for a visa, non-Canadians must:

  • Complete an online application form.
  • Pay a fee.
  • Submit a passport photo.
  • Provide proof of financial support.
  • Schedule an interview at a US embassy or consulate.

The processing time for a visa application can vary depending on the country of origin and the workload of the US embassy or consulate.

Non-Canadians who are unsure whether they need a visa to transit the US should contact the nearest US embassy or consulate for more information.
