Tourist Application Requirements for a United States of America Visa

1. Document requirements

   Upon placing your order, CIBTvisas will send you details for the requirements; please start preparing the following documents:

   • Passport; valid for at least six months with a minimum of two empty pages. The passport must not be torn, have loose pages, or have other alterations
   • Birth Certificate
   • Clave Única de Registro de Población (CURP)
   • Previous visas if applicable
   • CIBTvisas Application form
   • Appointment booking confirmation
   • Business Introduction Letter / Letter of employment from Local employer
   • Proof of Financial Means
   • Proof of Residency

   If applying as a family unit:

   • Marriage certificate
   • Birth certificates of children

2. Previous Convictions

   Applicants who have ever been arrested, cautioned or convicted of a previous offence, must declare this information on their visa application. This will require ‘administrative processing’ by the US Embassy, and will extend the consular processing time of up to 60 days from the date of the visa interview. As timing is based on individual circumstances of each case, the US Embassy cannot guarantee visa issuance or visa processing times in advance of the interview. If you have a criminal conviction, we recommend that you apply well in advance of your intended travel date.

   
   A Police Certificate or Court records pertaining to the arrest or conviction must be taken to the appointment, this applies even if the sentence is considered spent.
