Visas became necessary for entry into the United States with the Immigration Act of 1891, which established the first federal immigration bureaucracy. However, it wasn't until the Immigration Act of 1924 that a comprehensive visa system was implemented, requiring visas for most foreign nationals seeking to enter the U.S. Over the years, visa requirements have evolved, reflecting changes in immigration policy and international relations.
