A-1 visa

The A-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa which allows travel to United States for ambassadors, ministers, diplomats, consular officers, and their immediate family members.^[1] While government officials normally do not qualify for an A-1 visa if they are traveling for non-official, non-governmental purposes, heads of state always qualify and must apply for an A visa regardless of their purpose of travel.^[2] Visitors on an A-1 visa cannot be tried under US law for a crime, and may travel to and from the country an unlimited number of times.^[3] There is no maximum length of stay for individuals admitted on an A-1 visa, and there is no requirement to maintain a foreign residence.^[1]
