A Tourist Visa (also known as a Visitor Visa) is an official document that allows a foreign national to enter a country for a short-term stay, usually for the purpose of tourism, vacation, visiting family/friends, or attending short events or medical treatment. Tourist visas do not permit full-time work or long-term residence.
Each country has its own visa type, rules, and length of stay for visitors. Hereβs a full breakdown by destination:
