visa stamp

Entry permit mark

A visa stamp is the official mark placed in a passport by immigration authorities, authorizing entry into or exit from a country.

The stamp typically shows dates, duration of permitted stay, and visa category.

She checked her visa stamp to confirm how long she could remain in the country.

Often shortened to just "visa" in casual speech, though technically the visa is the authorization and the stamp is its physical evidence.
