In General
A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler’s passport, a travel document issued by the traveler’s country of citizenship.
Certain international travelers may be eligible to travel to the United States without a visa if they meet the requirements for visa-free travel. The Visa section of this website is all about U.S. visas for foreign citizens to travel to the United States.
​
A visa is the name given to the permission that the United States issues a person, under certain conditions, to enter the United States. Visas can be characterized or differentiated according to the requirements that need to be met, the limitations the visa bears, the permissions the visa allows, non-immigrant visas vs immigrant visas, and the length of the visa.

Visas and immigration to the United States can be divided into three main categories:
Tourism related visas
Work related visas
A Permanent Resident Visa (also known as a "Green Card")
​
D Visas
Is a non-immigrant type of visa known as the "crew member visa". D visas are for crew members working on board commercial sea vessels or international airlines in the United States, providing services required for normal operation and intending to depart the United States on the same vessel or any other vessel within 29 days or less. If you travel to the United States while accompanying a crew member with a D visa, a transit C-1 visa or a visa combination C-1/D visa is required..
Reasons to obtain a D visa to the United States may include (yet not limited to) a pilot or flight attendant on a commercial airplane; captain of a sea vessel; engineer on a sea vessel; or deckhand on a sea vessel; cruise ship lifeguard, cook, waiter, beautician, or other service staff; trainee on board a training vessel.
The following reasons do not apply to C visas as reason for travel (yet not limited to): Dry Dock: The primary services you will perform are dry dock repairs under warranty while the boat is docked at a U.S. port; Fishing Vessel: You are a crew member on a temporary basis on a fishing vessel that has a home port or operating base in the United States; Coasting Officer: You are a replacement coasting officer employed when an officer of a foreign vessel is granted home leave, and the vessel does not remain in U.S. waters for more than 29 days; Private yacht: You are a crew member on a private yacht sailing out of a foreign port which will be cruising in U.S. waters for more than 29 days; Outer Continental Shelf: You are a crew member going to the Outer Continental Shelf. In some cases the person may be eligible for a B visa or H visa instead.
