What is a Visa?




Visa comes from the Latin word “charta visa”, which means a paper that has been seen. It is a type of document that shows an authorization of a certain person to visit or enter a specific country from which it was approved and issued with a subjected permission by an immigration official at the moment of actual entry. Authorization can be in a form of document, but in generally these days it is in a form of authorized stamp that endorsed or certifies the applicant’s passport.

In other countries, there are some situations that visa is not required, for instance in a result of reciprocal treaty arrangements. This is a process were the country will issue the visa with different attachments of conditions of stay, like dates of validity, period of stay, territory covered by the visa, and more.

Even though you possessed a valid visa, you are still not guaranteed to enter your desired foreign destination, because it is just a form of permission that grants a non-citizen to enter, travel, transit or stay in their territory and limited within specified restrictions or constraints, i.e. time frame of entry, limited time and duration in the country, and a prohibition against employment, while visa can be invalidated without any given time.

While in some other countries such as Thailand it is required that their citizens and foreign travelers must acquire an exit Thai visa in order to be permitted to leave the country.

It is understood that if you leave the country without providing an exit visa, your current visa will get void or else you will be required to apply for another re-entry visa which could be hassle on your part.
