TN Visa
US visas · Reinvent NY glossary
The TN visa is available exclusively to Canadian and Mexican citizens under the USMCA (formerly NAFTA). It covers approximately 60 professional occupations including accountants, engineers, scientists, lawyers, and management consultants. Canadians can apply directly at the border without a petition — processing takes minutes. Mexicans must obtain a TN visa stamp at a consulate. The visa is valid for up to 3 years and can be renewed indefinitely. There is no annual cap. TN holders cannot have immigrant intent, which limits their ability to pursue a green card while in TN status.
