How long is the visa valid?

Visa Validity: Generally, countries issue entry visas valid for 3 months, and some countries issue entry visas valid for 1 month. Some countries have strict restrictions on the validity of visas, such as Germany, which only issues visas according to the date of application. The validity of transit visas is generally short.

Number of valid visas:

In addition to the validity period and stay period, the visa also stipulates the number of valid times. Generally, it is divided into one valid visa, two valid visas and multiple valid visas. The number of times a visa is valid means that once it is used within the validity period, it will be invalid. Two valid visas, that is, you can use them twice within the validity period of the visa. Multiple valid visas, that is, within the validity period of the visa, the holder can enter and leave its territory multiple times.

For example, some tourist visas for Australia and India allow multiple entry and exit within three or six months. In some countries, work visas are also applicable to multiple entry. Of course, what kind of visa to issue, how long it is valid and how many times it is valid are decided by the visa authority according to the specific situation of the entry applicant.
