hi guys , im planing on traveling across usa next year for about 2 months and to help me along the way was thinking of using a help exchange website ive found
the site basicaly puts the traveler in touch with ppl who need help or jobs done around the house or on farms ect in exchange for food and accomedation .
will i need a visa for this ? if so which type and how much ect ect ?
any help will be super , ive tryed phoning the us embassy in london but was conected to an automated phone and cant seem to find any info that clearly explains wat i want to know on the web
Reply to this Hi Chris -
Here is the
US Visa policy website.
I'm no visa expert, and it seems the rules change every time I look into it, but last I checked, you do not need a Visa with a UK passport to travel in the U.S for up to 90 days. You WILL need an applicable work visa if you want to obtain legal work in the country.
This website could be putting you in touch with under-the-table work that is not filed with the IRS. Technically that type of of work "off the books" would be illegal. Getting compensated with food and accommodation rather than money is probably a legal loophole if the company is in fact legit. If you're looking to pick up odd jobs here and there while you're visiting to extend your travel funds, places like Craigslist might be a better option for you.
