How to Apply for a Visa
Do not wait until the last minute! Inform yourself well in advance of your travel dates about possible visa requirements. First, see if you qualify for visa free travel through the Visa Waiver Program.

Everyone applying for a visa, including applicants renewing visas, is required to schedule an appointment for a visa interview and appear in person except for the following:

• Children under 14 years of age;
• Persons over 79 years of age;
• Diplomats on official business.

Visa Application Forms
The DS-156 Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF) must be completed online, and can be accessed at http://evisaforms.state.gov
You can download forms DS-157 (Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application) and DS-158 (Contact Information And Work History for Nonimmigrant Visa Applicant) here in both English and German.

Visa Processing Fee and Application Procedures
Persons applying in Germany for a visa to travel to the United States are required to complete an online payment confirmation form in order to obtain a secure receipt for the visa processing fee.

The online payment confirmation procedure is a quick, secure and cost-effective method for visa applicants to demonstrate they have paid the visa processing fee when they visit the Consular Section in Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich for their visa interview.

If Your Passport with a Visa has Expired
If your passport containing a still valid visa has expired, you may travel with two passports - your expired passport containing the valid U.S. visa and your unexpired passport.
