Tourist Visa
A visit visa (sometimes called a tourist visa or short-stay visa) is a type of visa that allows individuals to enter a foreign country for a temporary stay. Typically, visit visas are granted for the purposes of tourism, family visits, business meetings, or short-term stays for other non-work-related activities. The requirements and duration for a visit visa vary depending on the country issuing it.
