What then is a VISA?
VISA stands for Visitors International Stay Admission. A VISA can be defined as an endorsement on a passport that shows the holder is permitted to enter, depart, or remain in a country for a set amount of time.
When traveling to another country, a VISA is considered one of the most important documents.
Types of VISA
- Visa for tourists
- Visas for immigration and naturalization
- Student visas (for studying abroad)
- Work or business (for working, which includes both non-immigrant and immigrant types)
NB: There are certain documents necessary for each visa type. You must be able to understand and gather all of these documents depending on the type of visa you are seeking for. Then you submit. However, you must make sure your documents meet the standards for the visa in order not to be rejected.
