Required documents

8 items

Identity

  • A US visitor visa (B-1/B-2), unless your nationality can travel visa-free

    Required

    Guam is part of the United States, so most nationalities need a US B-1/B-2 visitor visa, applied for at a US embassy or consulate. Nationals of the countries in the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (Australia, Brunei, Japan, Malaysia, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong or Taiwan residents who meet the conditions) can visit Guam for up to 45 days without a visa with an electronic travel authorization, and Canadian citizens need no visa; those travellers are shown a visa-free notice instead. Chinese passport holders still need a visa for Guam. If you would need a visa, the steps below apply. Travellers from the general US Visa Waiver Program countries can travel without a visa if they hold an approved ESTA (22 CFR 41.2(k): up to 90 days, business or pleasure); we could not read the current country list, so check it on the official ESTA site before you apply for a visa.

  • DS-160 online application, confirmation page printed

    Required

    Complete the online nonimmigrant visa application (Form DS-160) and print the confirmation page to bring to your interview. You need your passport at hand to fill it in.

  • Passport valid for travel to the United States

    Required

    Valid for at least six months beyond your period of stay, unless a country-specific agreement exempts your passport from that rule. Each person who needs a visa applies separately, including family members listed in your passport.

  • Photo

    Required

    You upload your photo while completing the DS-160. If the upload fails, bring one printed photo in the required format.

Financial

  • Visa application fee

    The page we read shows a non-refundable processing fee of US$185 per applicant, and an extra issuance fee for some nationalities, paid at the interview. Bring the receipt if you are required to pay before your interview. Check the fee and how to pay on the website of the embassy where you apply, since the page we read is undated.

Purpose of travel

  • Evidence of the purpose of your trip, your plan to leave and how you will pay

    Additional documents may be requested, for example evidence of the purpose of your trip, your intent to leave the United States afterwards, and your ability to pay all costs (someone else may cover them). Employment and family ties may be enough to show purpose and intent to return. You must qualify on the basis of your residence and ties abroad, not on assurances from US family or friends. A letter of invitation or affidavit of support is not needed.

Travel

  • Travel itinerary and past US trips, if you have them

    Have your travel plans ready if you have already made arrangements, the dates of your last five visits to the United States if any, and be ready to list your international travel for the past five years. You may also be asked for a resume or CV covering your education and work history.

Other

  • Book an interview and print the confirmation

    Schedule an interview online using the barcode on your DS-160 and print the appointment confirmation. The page we read says a consular officer can require any applicant to attend, and gives age rules for who is usually interviewed that may be out of date; follow the interview instructions of the embassy where you apply.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Purpose, plan to leave or ability to pay not shown

    The State Department says additional documents may be requested to decide whether you qualify, and that you must qualify on your residence and ties abroad rather than on assurances from people in the US.

    How to avoid it: Be ready to show why you are travelling, that you intend to leave afterwards (employment and family ties can help) and how the trip is paid for.

  • Chinese passport holder expecting visa-free entry to Guam

    The visa-free programme for Chinese passport holders (EVS-TAP) covers the Northern Mariana Islands only. For Guam, DHS regulations say a visa is still required for nationals of the People's Republic of China.

    How to avoid it: Apply for a US B-1/B-2 visa before travelling to Guam.

  • Russian passport holder expecting visa-free entry

    Russians were once allowed visa-free entry to Guam and the CNMI by discretionary parole for up to 45 days. DHS ended that policy on 3 October 2019 and Russia is not on the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program country list.

    How to avoid it: Apply for a US B-1/B-2 visa before travelling.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
