FAQ

What is a travel visa?

A travel visa is a document issued by a foreign country that provides permission for you to gain entry into that country. It is your responsibility to determine whether or not a travel visa is required for your upcoming trip.

What is required to apply for a travel visa?

While the specific requirements vary, most countries require that you submit recent photographs, complete an application form, and submit your actual passport.

Other documents can also be required such as a detailed travel itinerary, health information, and invitation letters.
