What is a TN visa?

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) created special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico. The TN (trade Nafta) nonimmigrant visa permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to seek temporary entry into the United States to engage in business activities at a professional level.

Requirements of a TN visa include the following:

  • You must be a citizen of Canada or Mexico;
  • You must be a qualified professional
  • The position in the United States requires a NAFTA professional;
  • You have a prearranged full-time or part-time job with a U.S. employer
  • You have the qualifications to practice in the profession in question.
