Internationals Visiting UVA

While in select cases foreign nationals wishing to visit UVA may be eligible to do so under the visa waiver program, on a B visa, or as Canadian or other types of visa-exempt visitors, most visitors, particularly those with a formal relationship to UVA will be required to enter the U.S. in a specific non-visitor visa status. It is critical both from an immigration as well as a UVA liability perspective to consult with the ISO first when inviting any international student or scholar to the University.

Certain visitors to the U.S. may receive compensation for services to UVA based on the "9-5-6" rule.
