The P Visa is available to internationally recognized or acclaimed foreign athletes or entertainers who wish to engage in scheduled events or competitions, to participate under a reciprocal exchange program, or to engage in performances that are culturally unique. To be eligible for the P Visa, the foreign national needs to show that the purpose of their trip to the United States is to perform at a specific athletic competition or in production events. There should also be a contract signifying participation in international competition or major production, the applicant should be a member of a recognized and reputable foreign-based athletic or entertainment group for at least one (1) year; and the member or group should have received numerous significant recognitions or awards in the past.
