1. What is the function of a visa?

Visa is a kind of permission certificate for a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter, leave or transit. In other words, the procedure of affixing an endorsement on a traveler's passport or other valid travel documents is to allow him to enter, leave or pass through the territory of the country.

If a citizen wants to travel abroad, emigrate or study abroad, get married, etc. In addition to his passport, he must also hold the corresponding visa. 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, exit or transit.

Visas are generally endorsed on passports, some on other travel documents, and some are issued separately. For example, the immigration visa in the United States is an application form, and Singapore also issues visas to foreigners separately, but it must be used at the same time as the passport to be effective.

Generally speaking, foreigners are granted different entry visas according to the identity of the applicant and the purpose of entry, such as visas for traveling, visiting relatives, emigrating, studying abroad and working, and the residence time after entry is limited. Due to the different types of visas, the relevant materials needed are also different. Generally, short-term residence applications have fewer restrictions and shorter waiting time for approval. For the purpose of job hunting and long-term residence, it has become a common practice in all countries to apply for more restrictions and wait for a long time. A country has no obligation to allow foreigners to enter the country unconditionally (unless there is a treaty), and a foreigner has no right to ask a government to allow him to enter the country. The entry of foreigners is conditional.

2. How much does it cost to apply for a visa, how long does it take and what materials do you need?

There are several kinds of visas, depending on which visa you are applying for. Tourist visas are generally cheaper, while business visas and visas for visiting relatives and friends are more expensive. And it's different in different places, and every place is different. For example, a Korean tourist visa only requires 400 yuan. Korea validity: 3 months stay: generally 90 days.

Acceptance time: 5 working days after admission. Remarks on visa information:

1, depending on individual circumstances, different consulates decide the trial time (generally 15-20 working days);

2. The visa officer decides the number and time of entry;

3. In the process of visa application, the embassy has the right to ask the applicant to provide more information or materials or ask you for an interview according to different situations;

3. What do you mean by visa-free?

Visa-free means that as long as you get the approval of the immigration officer at the time of entry, you can travel freely in the country within a specified number of days without any entry permit. Visa on arrival needs to be processed at the visa office at the airport of the destination country before entry. Most of them need to pay a visa fee, and they can only enter the country if they get a visa. In addition, the visa on arrival has a designated port, and you must fly directly to the designated port. Whether visa-free or landing visa, you need to bring enough travel expenses, e-tickets to travel to travel itinerary, hotel reservations, in order to smoothly enter and leave the country. Tour groups in visa-free countries also do not need visas. Just bring the items just mentioned.

To sum up, what does a visa mean and what is its use? To put it bluntly, a visa is a ticket to another country. Only if you have a ticket, other countries will let you enter the country, but the visa is time-limited, depending on how you handle it. Therefore, when we go abroad, we must take all the documents together so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in another country.

Second, the visa

It is the annotation and seal of the sovereign organ of a country on the passport or other travel documents held by its own or foreign citizens to show that they are allowed to enter or leave their own country or pass through their own country. It can also be said that it is an endorsement certificate issued to them.
