A passport serves two
purposes: to regain entry to the country of citizenship (i.e.
the United States) and is a requirement by many countries to
gain entry to the country you are visiting.
A travel visa can be a stamp or sticker
placed by officials of a foreign country on a passport that
allows the bearer to visit that country.
Visas are obtained from the proper embassy
or local consulates of the country to be visited. Visit is
defined as the reason for entry, usually business, tourist or
transitory. There are over 270 countries that offer travel
visas and literally thousands of different types of visas
available based upon country, type of visit, and length of
visit. A travel visa is an official government document that
temporarily authorizes you to be in the country you are
visiting. There are about 185 different types of visas.
There are two main
categories of US visas: Non-immigrant visa - for temporary
visits such as for tourism, business, work, visiting family, or
studying. Immigrant visa - for people to immigrate to the United
States.
