P-1 Visas for Athletes and Entertainers

When professional athletes or entertainers tour through the United States, they may be required to obtain a visa. P-1 visas are specifically intended for this type of visitor and will document their tour, competitions, and concerts. Although these visas are frequently used for this type of visit, they may be difficult to secure because of complex immigration and visa laws.

The Austin immigration attorneys at the Law Offices of William Jang, PLLC, have years of experience helping visitors secure the visas they need to conduct business or participate in events in the United States.

Requirements for a P-1 Visa

Visas outline the type of travel that can be completed throughout the United States and the amount of time that the visiting individual or group can spend in the country. In order to qualify for a P-1 visa, the applicant must fall into one of the following categories:

• People involved with an organization that is comprised of at least six professional teams
• Ice skating teams or individuals that are part of ice skating productions
• Coaches or athletes that are competing with United States teams
• Members of an entertainment group recognized on an international level
