Visa is a kind of permission certificate issued by a government agency of a country for foreigners applying for entry, exit or passing through the country in accordance with domestic laws.

according to the principles of international law, any sovereign country has the right to decide for itself whether to allow foreigners to enter or leave its country, and has the right to issue visas, refuse to issue visas or announce the cancellation of visas already issued in accordance with its own laws.

A visa is usually attached to the passport or other international travel documents held by the applicant. Under special circumstances, a valid passport or other international travel documents can be written on a separate sheet. With the progress of science and technology, some countries have begun to issue electronic visas and biological visas, which greatly enhance the anti-counterfeiting function of visas.

visas have played an important role in checking and controlling people entering and leaving the country, protecting national security and preventing illegal immigrants and criminals.

Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter or leave the country or pass through the country.

visas are generally endorsed on passports, some are endorsed on other travel documents instead of passports, and some are issued with separate visas. For example, the immigration visa of the United States and Canada is a piece of A4 paper, and Singapore also issues a separate paper visa to foreigners. Generally speaking, the visa must be used at the same time as the passport to be effective.
