What is a visa?

Updated 

A visa is a special permission granted to an individual to enter a foreign nation for a specific period of time. Many nations require individuals to be approved for travel within their borders.

This is required in addition to a valid passport. Visa requirements vary based on the country or countries to be visited and your nationality.

An issued visa will not guarantee entry to a country, this will be decided by the immigration officer at the point of entry.

It is ultimately your responsibility to check and ensure compliance with visa requirements. This includes applying for the appropriate visas and providing all necessary documentation.
