What is a NATO-1 visa ?
28
The NATO-1 visa is designated for government representatives of NATO, as well as their immediate family members, who are traveling to the United States in a diplomatic/governmental capacity. This typically includes permanent members of NATO or any of its subsidiaries, or staff members of principal NATO representatives. Heads of state are not eligible for this visa category and must apply for an A-1 visa instead, even if they are traveling on official NATO business.
The length of stay for a NATO-1 visa is typically aligned with the duration of the official assignment or duty in the United States. Extensions are possible as long as the visa holder continues to fulfill their official NATO responsibilities and complies with visa conditions.
The State Department does not maintain a cap on NATO-1 visas.
