Visa & Entry Requirements
Traveling to the United States for Winter Solstice? Here’s what you need to know.

If You Need a Visa:
- Apply at your local U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
- Allow at least 4–6 weeks for processing (depending on where you live)
- Be prepared to show your reason for travel, ties to your home country, and financial resources.
