visa policy
Border admission requirements
Visa policy is a country's rules governing who may enter, for how long, and under what conditions.
It determines which nationalities need visas, which can enter visa-free, and what types of visas are available—tourist, work, student, transit.
Japan's visa policy allows many European citizens to stay ninety days without a visa.
Countries adjust visa policy based on diplomatic relations, security concerns, and economic interests.
