The TN visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the United States in specific professional occupations. Created under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), now known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the TN visa is ideal for businesses that need to quickly and efficiently bring skilled workers from Canada or Mexico to the U.S.

The TN visa is valid for up to three years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the employment situation continues to meet the visa requirements. This visa category is widely used by professionals such as engineers, scientists, accountants, and more.
