Passport is a legal document issued by a country to prove the nationality and identity of its citizens when they enter and leave the country and travel or stay abroad.

A visa is an entry and exit permit issued by a sovereign country to a foreign citizen or a national citizen who applies for entry and exit, that is, an endorsement and seal are affixed to the passport or other valid travel documents held by the applicant to show that entry and exit are allowed. Visas are usually issued by foreign embassies in visiting countries.

A: Visa is the endorsement and seal of passports or other travel documents held by domestic or foreign citizens by the sovereign organs of a country to show that they are allowed to enter or leave the country or go through the formalities in the country. It can also be said that it is an endorsement certificate issued to them. Generally speaking, a visa is a document issued by a country's entry-exit administration (such as immigration bureau or its embassy or consulate abroad) to approve the entry of foreign citizens.

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 are endorsed on other travel documents instead of passports, and some are issued separately. For example, immigration visas in the United States and Canada are A4 paper, and Singapore also issues separate paper visas to foreigners. Generally speaking, a visa must be used at the same time as a passport to be valid.

If you agree, a visa will be issued. If you refuse, you will also inform the applicant. (For visa refusal, the embassy or consulate will not refund the visa fee. )

The entry visa only allows the holder to enter the country, and if he needs to leave the country, he must apply for an exit visa again. Holders of entry-exit visas can leave or re-enter the country. Holders of multiple entry and exit visas can be allowed to enter and leave the country within the validity period of the visa.

According to the routine of entry and exit, it can be divided into: diplomatic visa, official visa, immigrant visa, non-immigrant visa, courtesy visa, tourist visa, work visa, study visa, business visa and family visa. Every country is different.

According to the length of time, it is divided into: long-term visa and short-term visa. The concept of a long-term visa is to stay in the destination country for more than 3 months. It usually takes a long time to apply for a long-term visa, regardless of the purpose of the visit. A visa that stays in the destination country for no more than 3 months is called a short-term visa, and it takes a relatively short time to apply for a short-term visa.

According to the number of entry, it can be divided into: single entry visa and multiple entry visa.

There are four kinds of visas in People's Republic of China (PRC): diplomatic visa, courtesy visa, official visa and ordinary visa, which are issued to foreigners who apply for entry.

Immigrant and non-immigrant visas

According to the applicant's entry purpose, visas can be divided into immigrant visas and non-immigrant visas. Obtaining an immigrant visa means that the applicant has obtained the permanent residence in the country where he goes, and after living for a certain period of time, he can become a legal citizen of that country. Non-immigrant visas can be divided into business, labor, study abroad, tourism, medical care and other categories.

Anti-visa

It means that the inviter completes the visa approval certificate for the visitor in the exit-entry administration department of the country he is going to, and then submits it to the embassy or consulate of the country where the visitor is located together with the applicant's passport, application form and other materials. The embassies and consulates of the visiting countries issue visas on the applicant's passport with the approval materials, and do not seek the opinions of relevant domestic departments. Generally speaking, getting a countersignature means that entry is approved, and there is no need to wait too long after the passport is sent to the country's embassy in China. At present, most countries that implement counter-signing are in Asia, such as Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

Port visa

Port visa window refers to visa processing at the port of entry of the destination country (also known as visa on arrival). Generally speaking, to apply for a port visa, the inviter needs to apply to the entry-exit administration department of the host country in advance, and after approval, a copy of the approval certificate will be sent to the visitors. The latter left the country with this card and obtained a visa when arriving at the port of the destination country.

At present, the countries that issue port visas to foreign citizens are mainly some countries in West Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Oceania.

A separate paper visa

A separate paper visa is also a form of visa. Generally speaking, a visa is usually signed or labeled on the inside of a passport, while a separate paper visa is endorsed on a special paper outside the passport. Its function is the same as the visa endorsed on the passport, but it must be used at the same time as the passport.

Mutual permission and visa exemption

With the continuous development of international relations and tourism in various countries, visa exemption has been developed to facilitate friendly exchanges between citizens of various countries. According to the agreement signed by the foreign ministries of the two countries, citizens of the two countries can freely enter and leave each other's territory with valid passports without visas. Visa exemption can be divided into complete visa exemption and partial visa exemption.

transit visa

When citizens of a country travel internationally, they often have to go through one or two countries before they finally reach their destination. At this time, it is necessary to obtain not only the entry permit of the country, but also the transit permit of the country, which is the so-called transit visa. The regulations on transit visas vary from country to country. Many countries stipulate that all foreigners who enter a third country through the country need to apply for a visa regardless of the length of their stay. According to international practice, if there are no special restrictions, citizens of a country should be issued with transit visas as long as they hold valid passports, entry visas or joint air tickets.
