A Visit Visa allows foreigners to enter another country temporarily for purposes like tourism, visiting friends and relatives, or short-term business activities, but not for employment or long-term stays. Requirements, processing times, fees, and whether a visa on arrival is an option vary significantly by country and often depend on your nationality. It is generally advisable to apply for your visa in advance from the country’s embassy or consulate in your home country to avoid issues.
Important Considerations
- Visa on Arrival: Some countries, like Bangladesh, offer a visa on arrival at certain ports of entry, but this is a privilege, not a right, and may have a shorter validity.
- Visa Extension: If you need to stay longer than your initial visa permits, you may need to apply for an extension from the immigration authorities in the destination country.
- Check Visa Details: Once issued, carefully check your visa for any mistakes, such as your name or passport number, and report them immediately to the consular department before your departure.
