A sensible person would apply for an extension, of course, but if everyone applied at the same time, it could get ugly. | |

| Apr 4, 2019 at 20:00 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | @phoog I'd love to see the incredulous looks given to someone who applies for a transit visa saying they want to take a ship from Europe to New York, ride a bicycle (fairly quickly) across the country, and catch a freighter to Asia from the west coast. | |
| Apr 4, 2019 at 19:27 | comment | added | phoog | @Traveller yet a garden-variety C-1 US transit visa can authorize up to 29 days of presence in the US. It's archaic, I know, but there it is. The US really puts more emphasis on purpose than on duration. | |

| Apr 4, 2019 at 19:25 | comment | added | Traveller | ‘Transit’ typically means short-term (usually max 24 hours) travel across or through the a country on the way to another country. If you’re staying for 2+ days you’re visiting, IMHO. | |
