Is there a transit visa? is it required for USA?
No, the United States does not offer a specific transit visa. If you plan to transit through a U.S. airport and do not intend to leave the international transit area, you will not need a visa. You can stay in the transit area while waiting for your connecting flight without needing additional authorization.
Important Details
- International transit area: If your connecting flight involves staying only in the transit area of the U.S. airport and you do not need to pick up luggage, change airports, or visit the city, you will not require a visa.
- Exiting the transit area: If you plan to leave the transit area for any reason, such as changing airports or if your next flight departs from another terminal that requires leaving the international zone, then you will need a valid visa to enter the United States.
