Editing USA Travel Visa Requirements for Foreigners (section)

==== '''Important Tips for Travelers''' ====

* '''Visa Validity and Duration of Stay''': The visa's validity period (up to 10 years for some) does not guarantee your length of stay in the U.S. That decision is made by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer upon arrival, who will stamp your passport with your allowed stay (usually up to 6 months for B-2 visas).
* '''Plan Ahead''': Visa processing times can vary by country and season, so it’s recommended to apply at least a few months in advance of your intended travel date.
* '''Travel Insurance''': Consider purchasing travel insurance to cover unexpected events like medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost luggage while visiting the U.S.
