Visa Services

Visa is an official endorsement or authorization granted by the government of a country to a foreigner, allowing them entry into, exit from, or transit through that country for a specific purpose and duration.

Visas are issued for various purposes, including tourism, business, work, study, family reunification, and other specific activities. The type of visa required depends on the traveler's intended purpose.

There are different types of visas, such as tourist visas, business visas, work visas, student visas, and diplomatic visas, each serving a specific purpose. The requirements and conditions for each type vary.

The validity of a visa determines the period during which the traveler is allowed to enter the country. It may be a single-entry visa (valid for one entry), multiple-entry visa (allowing multiple entries within a specified period), or other variations.

Some countries may require applicants to provide biometric data (fingerprints, photographs) or attend an in-person interview as part of the visa application process.
