3. Visiting Relatives in the U.S. 

The United States is one of the countries with the largest Vietnamese diaspora in the world. Consequently, every year, the U.S. welcomes a large number of Vietnamese tourists who come here both to visit their relatives and to travel.

As a result, two forms of tourism have emerged: independent family visit tourism and organized family visit tours to the U.S. in 2024.

However, due to the prevalence of this type of tourism among Vietnamese travelers, a specific type of visa has been introduced. To apply for a visa for family visit tourism in the U.S., travelers need to prepare specific procedures.

Vietnamese Americans mostly reside in states like California, Florida, Washington, and Los Angeles. If tourists want to combine visiting relatives with sightseeing during their 2024 U.S. trip, they can explore places such as Disneyland in California, the Seattle Aquarium, and more.

4. U.S. Tourist Visa

There are various types of visas for traveling to the U.S. depending on different purposes. However, both tourism and family visit to the U.S. utilize the same type of visa, the B2 visa - intended for activities such as tourism, vacation, visiting relatives, medical treatment, or unpaid artistic and sports events.

Of course, this type of visa is a temporary visa for traveling to the U.S., and tourists must return to their home country within the specified time frame.

To apply for the 2024 U.S. tourist visa, tourists need to prepare the following documents:

• Original Passport valid for at least 6 months with the traveler's signature and at least one blank page.

• One passport-sized photo with a white background, taken clearly, without wearing glasses, and both ears must be visible.

• Original Household Registration Book.

• National ID card or Citizenship card.

5. Key Points to Note for Traveling to the U.S. in 2024

In addition to visa application procedures before traveling to the U.S., travelers need to note the following:

5.1 Book Airline Tickets 

The United States has numerous airports depending on each location, and each flight typically accommodates a large number of passengers. Therefore, travelers should plan their trip to the U.S. in 2024 by booking airline tickets in advance to ensure availability. The best time to book flights to the U.S. is about 2 months before departure.

During major holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Tet, or the back-to-school season (from August to the end of the year), airfares will be significantly higher. Travelers visiting the U.S. in 2024 should consider avoiding these periods.

Another important aspect when booking airline tickets is to familiarize oneself with the regulations of the airline, such as prohibited items on board and U.S. entry requirements.

5.2 Accommodation Preparation

When visiting a travel destination, accommodation is just as important as visas and airline tickets. Like airline tickets, travelers may encounter fully booked accommodations during peak travel seasons. Therefore, to ensure lodging, travelers should book accommodations in advance for their 2024 U.S. trip.

If traveling to the U.S. on a family visit tour, accommodation may not be a significant concern as temporary lodging can be arranged at relatives' homes. However, in the opposite case, travelers should book accommodations 1 to 2 months in advance.

Booking accommodation on Airbnb is quite popular when traveling to the U.S. in 2024.

Booking accommodations through websites or apps is the most convenient option. Besides hotels, Airbnb is also an excellent choice for U.S. travel tours.

5.3 Currency Exchange

To make your 2024 U.S. trip more convenient, it's advisable to exchange currency before your journey. The current exchange rate is 23,000 VND = 1 USD.

Additionally, the declaration limit for entering and leaving the U.S. is set at 7,000 USD. If travelers carry more than 10,000 USD, they must declare it at the customs counter.

5.4. Other Important Considerations

• Avoid smoking in public places

• Refrain from discussing political issues while traveling to the U.S. in 2024

• Purchase travel insurance: Travel insurance will help you prepare for potential troubles such as medical emergencies,...

• Essential items travelers will need when traveling to the U.S. in 2024 such as power adapters, portable phone or camera chargers.

The Land of the Free always captivates visitors not only with its most modern metropolises in the world, but also with its majestic natural landscapes and entertaining amusement parks. That's why traveling to the U.S. in 2024 is a planned journey for many travel enthusiasts.
