Foreign diplomats, official government, and military travelers going to the U.S. on official government business may apply for an A visa at the U.S. Embassy. To qualify for an A visa, you must be traveling to the U.S. on behalf of your national government to engage solely in official activities.
A Visa
The A visa is a category of non-immigrant visa issued to diplomats, government officials, and their immediate family members traveling to the United States on official government business. It encompasses several subcategories, including A-1 visas for ambassadors, public ministers, career diplomats, and their immediate family members, and A-2 visas for other accredited officials and their families. A-3 visas are also available for attendants, servants, or personal employees of A-1 or A-2 visa holders. The A visa facilitates diplomatic and official travel, allowing representatives of foreign governments to fulfill their duties and responsibilities in the United States.
