travel visa

Border crossing document

A travel visa is an official document or endorsement in a passport that permits entry into a foreign country for a specified period and purpose.

Visas may restrict activities—tourist visas typically prohibit employment, while work visas authorize it.

Some countries grant visas on arrival; others require advance application with supporting documents: She applied for a travel visa three months before the trip.
