    Sailing Permit for departing H1/L1 holders
    Hi,

    Do H1b and L1b visa holders need to apply for a sailing permit before leaving USA?

    Are there any exceptions?

    Most visaholders do NOT.

    If you bring your last pay stub (that shows that taxes were withheld from your salary) with you to the airport just in case, there should not be any problems.
