Transit
US visa required for most transit connections
Most US airports do not have sterile international transit zones; passengers connecting on separate tickets must clear US Customs and Border Protection, which requires a valid US visa or ESTA (ESTA is not available for Indian passport holders). Indian passport holders must obtain a US B1/B2 or C-1/D transit visa before travelling. A valid US visa allows airside connections on a single international ticket at airports with sterile transit.
- •Valid passport
- •Confirmed onward flight ticket
- •C transit visa application (if layover and leaving international zone)
- •Visa for destination country
