The US is tightening visa controls: what you need to know to avoid problems

The USA introduces new visa application rules starting September 6, 2025. Now, applying requires stricter biometric data verification and additional confirmation of financial solvency. The changes affect all categories of tourist and business visas.

The new requirements aim to enhance security control and simplify the document verification process. The US State Department statement clarifies that candidates must now provide up-to-date biometric data, including fingerprints and a digital photo.

The interview process is also changing: for some applicants, it will be mandatory, even if there was previously an option to apply without a personal visit. Meanwhile, visa processing may take longer than before, so travelers are advised to plan their document submission in advance.

The American authorities emphasize that the new rules are aimed at increasing transparency and efficiency of the visa system. For tourists and business travelers, this means the need for more thorough preparation of documents and careful compliance with all requirements when applying.
