WHAT IS A VISA?

 

A visa is an official document issued by a foreign government that permits entry into their country. Visas have various expiration dates. They may be 10 days, 30 days, or 60 days – or longer. Once your visa expires, you will no longer be able to stay legally in that country. Visa requirements may be different from one country to the next according to purpose and reason of visit.
