Orlando International Airport (MCO) is one of the busiest airports in the United States and a major international gateway to Florida. With direct flights from Europe, Latin America, Canada, and the Caribbean, MCO processes millions of international travelers annually.
MCO is especially popular with tourists, students, and family-based visitors — but it is also a high-enforcement zone for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Officers at MCO regularly conduct secondary inspections, cancel visas, or issue expedited removal orders to travelers suspected of violating immigration laws.
Whether you’re traveling on a visitor visa, student visa, work visa, or ESTA, entry is not guaranteed. A single interaction at the airport can result in deportation, visa cancellation, or even a multi-year bar from returning to the U.S.
