Never flown as a adult before. Also, do not have a passport. Can someone explain how they work, in basic terms?
Do I buy a passport, fly, have the country stamp it which shown that I have permission to enter? What is a Visa?
In:
You don’t buy a passport, you apply for a passport that your country issues for you. I’m guessing you’re from the USA, so here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/apply-renew-passport/how-to-apply.html
When you enter or leave a country they denote it by stamping your passport at the border.
A visa is a document produced by a country that allows a person to enter it. Many countries have visa waiver programs for certain others countries, meaning they don’t require a visa to enter if you’re from the country. For example if you’re American you can freely enter any country in the European Union without a visa. If a country does require a visa, you need to get one at that country’s consulate/embassy in your own country.
