visa holder
Authorized temporary resident
A visa holder is a person who has been granted a visa—official authorization to enter, stay in, or transit through a country.
The term appears frequently in immigration discussions and policy documents: Visa holders must comply with the conditions of their stay.
It distinguishes those with temporary permission from citizens and permanent residents.
