Are you planning to visit the US for tourism or a business trip?
Are you a student planning to study in the US?
If so, then you need a non-immigrant visa!
This video will explain how to apply for a visa, pay the application fee, and schedule your interview at the U.S. Embassy Tunis.
The first step is to visit www.ustraveldocs.com to determine what type of visa you should apply for, and what specific documents you will need.
First, choose your location. Then select “Nonimmigrant” visa.
Review the visa categories and necessary documents carefully because selecting the wrong visa class or failing to supply the required documents may significantly delay your visa application.
Once you know which visa you are applying for, complete and submit the DS-160 visa application form online.
All applicants, including children, must have their own DS-160 visa application.
The next step is to pay the visa application fee.
To learn more about the fees for each visa category and bank locations where fees can be paid, click on “Visa Fees”.
When you’re ready to make your visa fee payment, visit the homepage and select “Apply now”.
On the first page, if you are not registered you will need to create an account.
If you are already registered, enter your email and password, type the two words you see in the box below exactly as they appear, with no spaces and press “connect.”
To create a new user, click “new user”, enter your information and password, type the two words you see in the box below exactly as they appear, with no spaces and press “Send”.
Once your account is created, you will be connected to your dashboard.
Select “Schedule an appointment” and answer the questions displayed on the screen.
After you’ve finished, select “Click here for all payment options” to select the Tunisian Post Office.
Print the deposit slip that appears on the screen. You will have to present it, in person, at the Tunisian Post Office to pay your visa.
Remember to bring your passport with you for identification purposes.
After you have paid the visa fee, log back into your profile to schedule an appointment.
Remember that your payment receipt will not be valid until 11:00 AM the following day.
After you have paid the visa fee, log back into your profile to schedule an appointment.

Answer the questions on the screen and then enter the transaction reference number (Receipt Number) when you reach the final step.
Now you can select the date and time of your appointment.
You can also call the Call Center to schedule an appointment.
We recommend that you apply for your visa at least 90 days before you plan to travel and that you do not make travel reservations until you receive a visa in your passport.
While most qualified applicants receive their visas within one business day, some visas are subject to administrative processing, which can take one to four months or longer to complete.
This processing cannot be waived or expedited.
If you have an urgent need to travel, schedule the earliest available appointment, and then send a request to the call center for an expedited appointment.
Select the “Apply for Expedited Visa Processing” link to learn more.
Emergency appointment requests are considered in limited cases, for urgent medical or business travel, or for students and exchange visitors. There is no guarantee that an appointment can be expedited.
Now you are ready to apply for your visa to visit the United States.
