TN VISA

Visa for professionals TN

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) (previously known as North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)) allows citizens from Canada and/or Mexico to work in the United States, and American citizens to work in Canada and/or Mexico, in certain professional occupations. The Treaty National visa (TN) is temporary by design. It can be issued for up to three (3) years and thereafter, can be extended indefinitely from one to three years. There are basically four conditions to this visa:

If the above conditions are met you can obtain your TN status directly at a Port of Entry or at the airport. Your spouse and dependents can accompany you (children under 21 can go to school) but they will not be authorized to work. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this procedure is automatic. The rules are strict and it is important that you get it right the first time. When applying for a TN visa you will have to demonstrate strong ties to your home country and the intent to return there after your work is completed.
