Do I need a visa to transit through the United States?

Yes, in most cases, you will need a visa to transit through the United States. If your nationality is not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which allows certain visitors to enter the US for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days without a visa, you will need a transit visa. Transit visas are required for individuals passing through the United States to another foreign destination, with a few exceptions such as travelers from countries exempt from the visa requirement for US visitors. It is crucial to check if you need a transit visa well in advance of your travel plans, as it may take some time to process the visa application. Contact your nearest US embassy or consulate for specific information based on your nationality and travel circumstances.
