Does the US have a Super Visa like Canada?
No. The US has no dedicated parent Super Visa. Parents typically visit on a B-2 tourist visa, which usually permits stays of up to six months per entry, or on the Visa Waiver Program if eligible.
Is medical insurance required for a US visitor visa?
No federal law requires visitor medical insurance for a B-2 visa. However, because US healthcare is expensive and not covered by most foreign plans, buying visitor insurance is strongly recommended for the length of the stay.
How much does US visitor insurance cost?
For a six-month visit, premiums commonly range from a few hundred to well over a thousand dollars depending on the visitor's age, the coverage amount, and whether the plan is comprehensive or fixed-benefit.
What is the difference between fixed-benefit and comprehensive plans?
Fixed-benefit plans pay set dollar amounts for specific services and are cheaper but can leave large gaps. Comprehensive plans pay a percentage of actual costs after a deductible and offer stronger protection against major medical bills.
