The role of visa

Visa is a measure taken by a sovereign country to safeguard its sovereignty, dignity, security and interests. Visa is an important means for a sovereign country to implement entry and exit management. If citizens of a country want to travel, settle down, do business or study in other countries, they must have their own passports or travel documents. Another necessary condition is to obtain visas to other countries. Otherwise, it is impossible to make a trip. If a citizen wants to travel abroad, emigrate or study abroad, get married, etc. In addition to his passport, he must also hold the corresponding visa. Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter, exit or transit.

Visas are generally endorsed on passports, some on other travel documents, and some are issued separately. For example, the immigration visa in the United States is an application form, and Singapore also issues visas to foreigners separately, but it must be used at the same time as the passport to be effective.

Generally speaking, foreigners are granted different entry visas according to the identity of the applicant and the purpose of entry, such as visas for traveling, visiting relatives, emigrating, studying abroad and working, and the residence time after entry is limited. Due to the different types of visas, the relevant materials needed are also different. Generally, short-term residence applications have fewer restrictions and shorter waiting time for approval. For the purpose of job hunting and long-term residence, it has become a common practice in all countries to apply for more restrictions and wait for a long time. A country has no obligation to allow foreigners to enter the country unconditionally (unless there is a treaty), and a foreigner has no right to ask a government to allow him to enter the country. The entry of foreigners is conditional.
