Visa Details
Type of Visa -
Nonimmigration Visa-
Citizens of Singapore and 26 other countries may travel to the U.S.
without a visa for tourism or business for up to 90 days; this is
known as the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Permanent residents of Singapore
who are not from one of the VWP countries are not eligible for this
program.
Immigration Visa -
In general, in order to be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa,
a foreign citizen must first be sponsored by a U.S. citizen relative
or by a prospective employer. This process, often called "petitioning,"
is the first step in the application process, and is done in the
United States. (Limited exceptions are "immediate relative"
petitions which may be accepted abroad under some circumstances.
See below.) If the petition is approved and is current, the petition
allows a prospective immigrant to begin the visa application process.
Generally, approved petitions are forwarded to a U.S. consulate
in the country in which the applicant is residing. In such cases
the applicant will be notified by mail and provided with instructions
on the application process.
Document Required -
We will also accept applications from holders of work permits,
student passes, long-term social visit passes or short-term entry
cards if they are physically present in Singapore at the time of
their application. However, all visa applicants are encouraged to
file their applications in their home countries if they have not
been in Singapore for a significant amount of time. The reason for
this policy is that the visa officers at the U. S. Embassy or Consulate
in an applicant’s home country are more familiar with his
or her circumstances and documents than the officers here would
be.
