Travel document center
A visa office is a government facility or department that processes applications for visas—documents authorizing foreign nationals to enter, stay, or work in a country.
Visa offices operate within embassies, consulates, or immigration agencies: You'll need to schedule an appointment at the visa office.
The term also refers to the staff or bureaucracy handling such applications: The visa office rejected her extension request.
