NAFTA Visa (TN)


Orlando Immigration Attorney, providing experienced NAFTA Visa (TN) and Immigration Law legal services in Orlando, and the Central Florida area.


NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement. It creates special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico. The nonimmigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visa allows citizens of Canada and Mexico, as NAFTA professionals to work in the United States. Permanent residents, including Canadian permanent residents, are not able to apply to work as a NAFTA professional. For information regarding NAFTA Visas (TN), contact Bill Rivera, an experienced immigration law lawyer. Call 407.536.7123.

Professionals of Canada or Mexico may work in the U.S. under the following conditions:

  • Applicant is a citizen of Canada or Mexico;

  • Profession is on the NAFTA list;

  • Position in the U.S. requires a NAFTA professional;

  • Mexican or Canadian applicant is to work in a prearranged full-time or part-time job, for a U.S. employer (see documentation required). Self employment is not permitted;

  • Professional Canadian or Mexican citizen has the qualifications of the profession.

The requirements of Canadian Citizens and Mexican Citizens applying for a NAFTA Visas (TN) differ. For example:

  • Canadian citizens usually do not need a visa as a NAFTA Professional, although a visa can be issued to qualified TN visa applicants upon request. However, a Canadian residing in another country with a non-Canadian spouse and children would need a visa to enable the spouse and children to be able to apply for a visa to accompany or join the NAFTA Professional, as a TD visa holder.

  • As of January 1, 2004 the procedures were simplified for Mexicans by removing the requirement for petition approval and for filing of a labor condition application. Mexicans are no longer subject to numerical limitation for these professionals. Mexican citizens still require a visa to request admission to the United States.

There are still specific and detail procedures which must be followed to ensure your petition is properly administered, providing you the best opportunity for achieving your NAFTA Visas (TN) goals.
