Extended information:

The role of visa:

A 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 of its own borders.

If citizens of a country wish to travel, settle, trade, study abroad, etc. in other countries, in addition to having their own valid passport or travel document, another condition is that they must obtain a visa to the country.

Normally, when a country issues visas to foreigners, it is based on the principle of equality and reciprocity in the treatment given to its own nationals by the foreign country, and provides equal preferences and conveniences for the nationals of the two countries to travel with each other. But there are also visa-free countries. For example, there are 18 visa-free countries for Chinese passport holders, and 130 visa-free countries for American passport holders.
