TN Visa Requirements
The TN visa allows qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to work temporarily in the United States under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). To qualify, applicants must be citizens of Canada or Mexico and have a valid job offer in a profession listed under the TN occupational categories. The position must require a NAFTA-recognized professional, and the applicant must possess the necessary educational credentials typically a Baccalaureate or Licenciatura Degree in the field. Some roles may also require licenses or professional experience.
Additionally, the employment must be temporary, and applicants must demonstrate nonimmigrant intent, meaning they plan to return to their home country after their assignment ends. The TN visa does not permit self-employment or permanent residency pursuits.
