If you're planning to visit the United States to learn English and experience American culture, you may need an ESTA or a tourist visa. An ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is an electronic travel authorization system for nationals of certain countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program. This visa allows you to stay in the USA for up to 89 days. Please review the list of countries eligible to apply for this visa here.
To apply for an ESTA, you'll need to fill out your application online and pay the required fee. Once approved, your ESTA is valid for two years or until the expiration of your passport, whichever comes first. It's important to note that an ESTA does not offer extension options, and you must be outside the USA to submit a new application.
To sum up: Considerations for selecting your language course and trip duration
With the ESTA visa you are just allowed to stay 89 days and the maximum number of lessons per week is 23.75, so you would need to apply for the F1 student visa if you want to book higher course intensities.
Tourist visa This visa allows you to stay in the country for a specific period to engage in tourist activities. The validity period of a tourist visa may vary on a case-by-case basis and depends on the consulate's decision.Our team is here to assist you in selecting the right visa and with any questions regarding visa application.

If you're planning to stay in the USA for more than 3 months or book more than 18 hours of classes per week (24 lessons or more), you'll need an F1 student visa. The F1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to study at accredited educational institutions in the USA, and we, at the College of English Language, are one of those institutes.
To obtain an F1 student visa, you must first be accepted by a school accredited by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). After receiving your acceptance, you can apply for the F1 visa. You will also need a SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) I-20 form from your school, which you'll need for the visa application.
The F1 student visa allows you to stay in the USA for the duration of your studies, including a limited period for internships or practical training related to your field of study. Upon completion of your studies, you may have the opportunity to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) to gain practical work experience in your field.
It's important to note that the F1 visa imposes specific requirements on academic progress and compliance with visa regulations. Our experienced team is available to assist you at every step of the process and ensure a smooth stay in the USA.
