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!

It’s a permission to enter a country, given by that country, often for a specific time period, for a specific reason and/or a specific number of times. What level of scrutiny and process is involved in the issuing of a visa (or whether one is required at all) almost always depends on the issuer of the passport the traveler is holding – e.g a Brit might have an easier time getting a visa and so entering US than a Russian would.
