What is a Visa, in Simple Terms?

615 viewsOther

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 (sometimes digital) issued by the country you’re going into, giving you the right to be there for a pre-determined amount of time and for certain reasons (e.g. business, tourism).
