A visit visa is a type of short-term travel authorization that allows individuals to enter a foreign country temporarily for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, attending events, or receiving medical treatment. Unlike work or study visas, a visit visa does not permit long-term stay, employment, or academic enrollment.
Each country has its own rules and categories for visit visas, but generally, these visas are issued for durations ranging from a few days up to six months. Some countries offer single-entry visas (valid for one trip only), while others offer multiple-entry visit visas, allowing travelers to enter and exit the country several times during the visa's validity.
