Visa

A visa document is an official authorization issued by a country that permits a foreign national to enter, stay within, or leave that country. It is typically endorsed in the traveler’s passport or as a separate document.

Here are some key aspects of a visa :

• Conditional Authorization : A visa grants permission to enter a country but doesn’t guarantee entry. Immigration officials at the port of entry have the final say.
• Purpose-Specific : Visas are usually issued for a specific purpose, such as tourism, study, work, or family visits. Different types of visas exist to cover these various reasons for travel.
• Time-Limited : Most visas have an expiration date, specifying how long the holder is allowed to stay in the country.

In essence, a visa document serves as preliminary permission from a country for a foreign national to seek entry. The actual entry is then subject to immigration checks upon arrival.
