*What is a Third Country National (TCN)?

A Third Country National is a citizen of a country other than Suriname or French Guiana who applies for a nonimmigrant visa with their Non-Surinamese or European Union passport.

Notice: Certain visa applicants may be subject to additional administrative processing. This administrative processing may last weeks, thus delaying visa delivery and the applicant’s return to the United States. Every effort will be made to expedite these procedures; however, it is not possible to guarantee completion of this process by a particular date.
