Applying for US visas without being a permanent resident of that country, is this possible?
Upvote:2
Is it possible? Yes
Ideally you should schedule an appointment for your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where you live, but the U.S. does not require visitors to apply in their home country.

Is it a good idea? Not necessarily
- It may be more difficult to qualify for a visa outside of the country where you live. You should expect heightened scrutiny and less familiarity with your documents from your home country
- You need to factor in the time it might take to get your passport returned, if you have to submit it with your application, and the length of time you are allowed to stay as a visitor in whatever country you wish to apply from
- If your application is weak in any way, for example your travel history doesn’t include equivalent jurisdictions such as Schengen, Canada etc, the answer will likely be a refusal. You will have wasted the cost of the trip to another country to apply, and damaged your travel history too.
