<p>In some cases it may be desirable to apply for a visa at an American embassy    outside of Japan. It is possible under certain circumstances to obtain original    and renewal visas at the American Embassies or Consulates in Mexico and Canada.    The current procedure is to make an appointment only at a special Department    of State website. Most American Consulates have specific requirements that describe    the procedures for third country nationals (including Japanese) to apply for    a visa. Many American Consulates do not accept third country nationals. These    requirements are usually stated on their websites.</p>
