Where to Apply for Your Visa

The visa-interview procedure depends on the participant's country of citizenship or residence and the current rules of the U.S. Department of State. If the necessary visa operations are available in the participant's country, the interview generally takes place there. If this is not possible, another place of application may be designated for participants from that country. Therefore, you should not independently choose a third country simply because interview appointments are available there. 1. For Work and Travel USA participants, the specific procedure may depend on the country and the IEC office. Before completing documents and scheduling an interview, be sure to obtain the current instructions from your IEC representative. 2. Rules and application locations may change, so do not rely on the experience of participants from previous years as current instructions.
