About Tourist Visa B-2 to the United States

The U.S. B-2 Tourist Visa is a U.S. nonimmigrant visa for individuals who wish to travel to the United States for tourism, vacation, family visits, visiting friends, or other private purposes. The visa can also be used for certain types of medical treatment in the United States.

Unlike the ESTA, the B-2 is a traditional visa issued by U.S. authorities after application and interview. Many UK citizens travel to the United States with an ESTA, but in some situations, a Tourist Visa B-2 may be necessary or more appropriate. This applies, for example, if you want to stay longer than the ESTA allows, if you have previously been denied an ESTA, or if you do not meet the requirements for the Visa Waiver Program.

The visa is often issued with multiple entries and a validity period of up to 10 years. However, the length of time you are allowed to stay in the United States is determined upon each entry by the U.S. Border Patrol and is usually up to 6 months per visit.

You will need the following documents to apply:

• Completed visa application
• Copy of passport information page
• The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
• Visa photo

Additional documents may be required depending on your situation. For example, US authorities may request documents proving the purpose of the trip, financial conditions or connection to the home country.

The United States can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.

Are you a Swedish citizen?

Swedish citizens can in many cases travel to the United States with ESTA for shorter tourist trips. However, a Tourist Visa B-2 may be a better option if you are planning a longer stay, do not meet the conditions for ESTA, or have previously had an ESTA application denied. For individuals who require greater flexibility or who are not eligible to travel under the Visa Waiver Program, B-2 visas are often the appropriate solution.
