How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa required

    PRC visitors require a visitor visa and some also require EVUS

    A PRC passport holder needs a B-1, B-2, or B-1/B-2 visa; holders of specified 10-year visas must also maintain EVUS enrollment.

    • EVUS is an additional condition for specified 10-year visa holders, not a substitute for a visitor visa.
    • A visa permits travel to request entry and does not guarantee admission.
