The US Embassy in Port of Spain has launched a new initiative RIW - Renewal Interview Waiver for Tourist Visas. This is to make it convenient for nationals of Trinidad and Tobago to apply for renewal of these visas. It is applicable for their non-immigrant or Tourist Visas under the B1 and B2 category.
Joseph N. Mondello the Ambassador said that the RIW will particularly help the residents of Tobago
with the Visa renewals. These have to usually travel to Trinidad using the air
or sea route, he added.
The Renewal
Interview Waiver is for renewing one’s US
Visa said, Mondello. This will be of convenience and advantage for all
nationals of Trinidad and Tobago, he explained.
The RIW is
applicable for these nationals whose
Visas have expired within the previous year. It also includes those whose Visas
are set to be expired. Applicants who are applying for the first time will
have to schedule the interview. It also includes those whose Visas expires more
than 1 year before, as quoted by the US Embassy Gov.
The RIW is
similar to the existing waivers based on age. It is for those applicants who
are below 14 years or above 79 years. Similarly, applicants are required now to
just fill an application form online. They need to pay the fee at Scotia Bank and courier the visa
application packet.
The digital Visa
application will advise applicants automatically. This is if they are eligible
for the RIW. However, applicants can choose to opt out if they have very urgent
travel needs.
The documents that are needed for the Renewal
Interview Waiver are:
- The Visa
application form - A passport
photo less than 6 months old - A valid
passport - The
previous B1 or B2 visa
The applicant
must send both the old and current passport if the earlier Visa was held in a
passport that expired.
