Visas for America?

Question

I am going to America for 3 weeks on Saturday. I understand we don't need a visa beforehand, as we can just fill out the one on the plane, but we plan to go to Niagara for 1 day, do we need a special visa for that? Or, is it possible to 'do the falls' from the American side?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can see Niagra from the U.S. side, though the more spectacular view is on the Canadian side.

You probably would be able to cross over ok, but I would not recommend it, as you may have trouble re-entering the U.S. Most visa's such as the one you will be getting, are single-entry visa's. So crossing into Canada, then coming back into the U.S.A., even for a short time, would be considered a second entry and could cause you problems.

So, either content yourself with the view from the American side, or check everything out with BOTH embassies prior to going to Niagra.
