What is a Visit Visa?

A visit visa, also known as a tourist visa, is an official authorization that allows international travelers to legally enter, stay, and leave a foreign country for a limited period. Unlike work or study visas, visit visas are temporary and meant only for short-term purposes such as:

  • Tourism: Visiting historical landmarks, cultural attractions, and natural destinations

  • Family Visits: Meeting relatives or family members residing abroad

  • Business Tourism: Attending conferences, seminars, meetings, or short-term training programs

  • Medical Visits: Short-duration medical treatment or health checkups in eligible countries

Visit visas do not permit permanent residence or full-time employment in the destination country.
