TN Visas for Mexican and Canadian NAFTA Professionals
What is a TN Visa Classification?
The TN visa, also known as the nonimmigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visa, is tailored for individuals from Canada and Mexico who are NAFTA professionals seeking temporary employment opportunities in the United States.
It enables them to participate in prearranged business activities for either U.S. or foreign employers.
Who Qualifies for a TN Visa?
Qualifications for NAFTA Professional (TN) Nonimmigrant Status:
- The applicant holds citizenship in Canada or Mexico.
- The chosen profession is listed in the NAFTA agreement.
- The position in the United States necessitates a NAFTA professional.
- Applicants are committed to working in a predetermined full-time or part-time capacity for an employer.
Canadian citizens are generally exempt from a TN visa requirement and can seek admission as nonimmigrants without a visa. If you are a Canadian citizen, you can establish TN eligibility at the U.S. port of entry or through Form I-129.
Mexican citizens must obtain a TN visa and apply at a U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico.
