Who doesn’t love to travel all around the world? It’s the most fascinating thing in our lives, to explore new vistas, relishing each moment of our stay in a foreign nation or country mingling with their natives and imbibing their culture and tradition for the time they stay. To completely blend in with the people, live a new life, fill our senses with fresh information and feelings.
And finally, in return, we carry those memories and cherish them long after we have gone from a foreign land to our native country.
One of the vital things among documents to carry for your international stay is thy VISA ( Visitors International Stay Admission ).
The VISA is an important document of identification of an individual traveling or staying in an international country. It is authorized by the International Nation itself.
It contains details such as your Professional Photo, Full name, Country of Birth ( to ascertain your Nationality in short), Sex or gender, USCIS#, category, and finally the operational period of the visa ( includes the date of authorization and the date of its expiry ).
Let’s see the few types of VISA now –

Visa On Arrival. It is granted to travelers when they are an entry port to an International country.

It is also sanctioned by the International Wing of the Country you’re traveling to.
- Entry Permit – The entry permit allows non-native to not only enter but stay in an international country for a strict and specific period. It is the same as the E visa but the only point of difference lies in the mode of availing these two types of VISA.
