Comprehensive Overview Of Tourist Visa
A tourist visa is an official document that allows you to enter a foreign country for leisure, tourism, or short-term travel purposes. Typically issued for a limited period, tourist visas enable travelers to explore, visit family or friends, and experience the culture of their chosen destination. While tourist visas do not permit employment or long-term stays, they offer the opportunity for travelers to discover new places within a designated timeframe.
Each country has its own type of tourist visa, such as:
- Schengen Visa (for European countries)
- B-2 Visa (for the United States)
- Visitor Visa (for Canada)
- Standard Visitor Visa (for the UK)
- Tourist Visa (for Australia)
