Does a U.S. visa need to be stamped when entering and exiting?

When entering the United States, the Immigration Bureau will stamp you on the page next to the visa page in your passport. It contains the entry date and the latest departure date. Sometimes the departure date is handwritten. When you leave the United States, you don’t go through the immigration office and no one stamps it.

You can apply for a B-2 U.S. tourist visa if you travel to the United States for tourism, entertainment, visiting relatives and friends, medical treatment, attending conferences, going to exhibitions, handling personal affairs, etc. The B-2 U.S. tourist visa can be divided into three-month validity, one-year validity, three-year validity, five-year validity, ten-year validity and permanent validity. The number of entries is also divided into one-time and multiple-entry validity.

U.S. embassies and consulates in different countries or regions, or different consuls in the same consulate, have great discretion over the validity period of the visa or the number of entries. It is easier for Hong Kong residents to apply for a B-2 visa that is valid for 1 to 5 years and is valid for multiple entries. It is easier for residents of mainland China to apply for a B-2 visa that is valid for 3 months to 1 year and is valid for one or multiple entries.
