Non-Immigrant Visas

The Non-immigrant Visa Unit processes applications for people traveling to
the United States for a temporary purpose. Applications are accepted by
appointment only.  Please call the Visa Information Service at
+90-212-340-4444 to schedule an appointment.

NONIMMIGRANT VISA
APPLICATION FORM (DS-160)

All travelers applying in
Turkey for U.S. nonimmigrant visas must submit the new online Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic
Application Form (DS-160)  via the internet at
least two business days before their visa interview.

After
completing and submitting the DS-160, applicants will receive instructions
to print a confirmation page that includes biographical information and a
bar code with confirmation number.  Each applicant must bring the
confirmation page for their application in order to be admitted to the
Consular Section on the day of their visa appointment.

It is very important that nonimmigrant
visa applicants classify themselves in the proper visa categories and pay
the proper fees.  Applicants who do not do so correctly will be
required to make a second appointment via calling Visa Information Service
(Call center).  Regrettably, we are unable to interview applicants
who have incorrectly classified themselves on the same
day.

For more information on
the DS-160, please click here.

The U.S. Embassy Ankara is located at 110 Atatürk Bulvarı, 06100
Kavaklıdere.  The consular gate is at the Paris Caddesi side of the Embassy
compound.  For telephone inquiries about non-immigrant visas in Ankara,
please call +90-312-455-5555 and press 1 for Consular Services
Monday through Thursday between 16:00 and 17:00, or fax us at
+90-312-466-1586.  The Non-immigrant Visa Unit of the
Consular Section is open every workday, from 08:00-17:000, for normal
business.

The Istanbul
Consulate is located at İstinye Mahallesi, Kaplıcalar Mevkii No.2, İstinye,
34460.  The Consular Section is open every workday, from 08:00-16:30, for
normal business. The Consular Section may be reached through the 24-hour
switchboard at +90 212- 335-9000.

Passports must be valid for at least six months after the date of your
interview in order for a visa to be placed in the passport.  If your
passport has less than six months’ validity, please make sure you extend its
validity before your interview.

Please apply at least 6-8 weeks in advance of your desired travel date.
Please ensure all questions are answered on the application and your photograph
meets the requirements outlined in point 5 of the step-by-step guide. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in your interview being
delayed.

The Embassy will be closed for the following days in 2010! The VIS is open on
American holidays.
