Can I go to the United States on a tourist visa now?

Now you can go to America with a tourist visa. At present, the United States has not signed a visa-free agreement with China, and China citizens who want to travel to the United States need to apply for a visa from the US Embassy in China. If the embassy, after reviewing the applicant's materials, considers that the applicant meets the conditions for applying for a visa and issues a visa, the party concerned may enter the United States with this visa.

Tourist visa is a kind of visa, which is generally a quick visa application method for the convenience of tourists and the development of tourism resources. Correspondingly, it is also greatly restricted. Generally speaking, the validity period and stay period are relatively short and can only be used for tourism-related activities. Tourist visas are characterized by a short stay, usually 30 days, up to 90 days, and generally cannot be extended. Tourist visa holders are not allowed to work in the local area or engage in activities unrelated to tourism. Group tourist visa is a kind of tourist visa, which is characterized in that the visa is not on the passport, and tourists must leave and enter the country with the group.
