Why do countries do this? If a US consulate has already vetted you, that vetting is accepted as good enough — Mexico, Georgia, Saudi Arabia and others wrote it into their entry law.

The fine print that actually matters

⚠️ “Valid” is not negotiable.

The visa must be unexpired; Chile and Peru want 6+ months of remaining validity, the UAE wants 6 months on a visa or Green Card.

⚠️ “Used” matters.

Albania, Panama, Saudi Arabia and Egypt require at least one entry stamp from the issuing country — a fresh, never-used visa fails this test.

⚠️ Category can matter.

Colombia excludes C1 transit visas; Argentina matches the visa category to your trip purpose; Türkiye's rule needs an ordinary sticker visa — an e-visa or ESTA does not qualify.

Entry requirements change — each rule on the US visa (B1/B2 etc.) unlocks page cites its official source with a "last verified" date. Re-check before booking.
