I’m new to traveling, and wanted to know, who exactly is a visa for? Is it for the country you’re leaving to tell them you are allowed to leave or something? Is it for the country you’re entering so you can tell them you’re been approved to enter from the previous country? Who sees it and who does it matter to?
All I could seem to find on Google is that it’s attached to your passport once you get one and that you need one. I was hoping to hear a more detailed explanation from someone who’s actually used one in the past so I kind of know what to expect!

A visa is a document issued by the country you are going to. It may be stamped into your passport, pasted into your passport, stapled into your passport, or it could be digital. If you look at your passport the first page is for the country who issued the country and the rest is free to be used by any other country you visit, including things like visas.
The requirements for visas vary a lot. It depends on what country you come from, where you are a citizen, why you are in the country, how long you intend to stay, what you want to do in the country, etc. So you need to look up this information on the government websites of the country you are visiting. For example if you are an American citizen and want to visit England you would look for information from the British Embassy in Washington. This is also where you would apply for a visa if you need one.
