temporary visas
Limited-stay travel documents
Temporary visas are travel documents permitting entry to a country for a limited period and specific purpose—tourism, study, work, or medical treatment.
Unlike permanent residency or citizenship, they expire and typically restrict activities: Her student visa doesn't allow her to work off-campus.
Overstaying a temporary visa can result in deportation or future entry bans.
