Travel Visa for Tampa, Florida
& Other US Locations: Contact a Visa Lawyer from Maney
| Gordon, P.A.
In most cases, a citizen of a foreign country who wants
to travel to the Tampa Bay, Florida area will first need
a travel visa. A travel visa is a temporary, non-immigrant
visa which allows foreign nationals to enter the United
States for pleasure, medical treatment, business, or a
combination of these purposes. From visiting Clearwater
Beach, Florida as a tourist, to staying in Tampa, Florida
for a business convention, the US government has a wide
array of travel visas available to serve a variety of
purposes.
Applying for a travel visa can be a baffling experience
for a person who is not well-versed in immigration law.
In addition to the many types of travel visas available,
there are also varying requirements for each. When you
also consider constantly changing US immigration laws
and tightening security, entering the Tampa Bay, Florida
area with a travel visa is not always easy. If you, like
many foreign nationals, are concerned about how to get
a travel visa, contact a Tampa
visa lawyer from Maney | Gordon, P.A. for a free initial
assessment of your case.
Some of the many travel visas that can be used to enter
the United States and stay here for a period of time include:
- B1 business visitor visa—allows foreign businesspeople
to conduct limited business activities in the United
States, typically for no more than 6 months at a time.
- B2 visitor for pleasure visa—lets foreign-born
visitors travel to the United States for tourism and
other recreational purposes. If the foreign visitor
changes his or her intentions after entering the US,
it is possible to request a change of status to another
visa category.
- K1 fiance visa—gives
permission for the fiance or fiancee of a US citizen
to travel to the Tampa Bay area for the purpose of marrying
the US citizen within 90 days.
- J1 exchange visitor visa—permits foreign nationals
to travel to the US so that they may participate in
an approved exchange program. Common exchange programs
involve students, professors, scholars, au pairs, and
other international visitors.
Since the basic objective of a travel visa is to allow
US entry on a temporary basis, most travel visas cannot
be used to work legally in the US. Foreign nationals hoping
to be employed in the greater Tampa Bay area or other
parts of the country should seek one of the many work
visas available for various occupations and business
ventures.
