Good day guys.

I've someone travelling from Canada to Nigeria. He booked a Delta airline that's supposed to move from Toronto to New York then Lagos.

He has just a Canada Visitor visa and doesn't have a U.S visa.

My question is does he need a U.S visa to transit through U.S to Nigeria?

salford1:
Yes. He needs a US visa.

megastu:
If he doesnt need to change airport then he wont need a U.S Visa.

Hotspotaccess:
Oh. He's not changing airport, he has no business in the U.S

senchris:
As long as he is not leaving the airport, he doesn't need a US visa. His boarding pass which will be issued in Canada is all he needs to join his connecting flight down to Nigeria.

Many thanks boss. I thought as much. Cos travelling through Europe and UAE or Asia one doesn't need a transit visa. As long as you stay put in the transit airport for your connecting flight.

senchris:
That's it. In some cases, if your waiting time is too long like 12 hrs, the airline may even take you to a hotel in that city and bring you back to the airport when your connecting flight is due. That way, you can see the city without any extra cost. I have had the experience with a couple of airlines.
