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.

F visas are meant to serve people that have the intention of attending one of the following residing in the United States: university, college, high school, private elementary school, seminary, conservatory, another academic institution (including a language training program).
A person must have a student visa to study in the United States. The course of study and the type of school you plan to attend determine whether you need an F visa or an M visa. Students cannot travel on the Visa Waiver Program or with Visitor Visas; An exception for foreign nationals may apply if the person intends to take recreational studies (non-credit) as part of a tourist visit (a B visa may be appropriate).
F and/or M visas are required even if the student is enrolled in an online or hybrid program at an American institution (distance learning program). Family intending to accompany the F or M visa holder must be register in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) in addition to the visa holder.
