A travel visa is a conditional authorization granted by a country to a foreign national allowing them to enter, remain within, or leave that country. It is generally distinct from a passport, which is an identity document issued by a country to its citizens allowing them to travel internationally.
Visas are typically issued by diplomatic missions, embassies, or consulates of the destination country in the traveler’s home country. The process of applying for a travel visa can vary depending on the country, but generally involves submitting an application form, providing supporting documents such as a passport, itinerary, and proof of financial means, and paying a fee. The application may also require an interview with a consular officer.
