What is a Visitor Visa?
A visitor visa (also known as a tourist visa or temporary resident visa) is an official authorization issued by a foreign country that allows you to enter and stay there for a limited period, typically for tourism, visiting relatives, or short-term business activities. It does not permit you to work or reside permanently in the country.
Each country has its specific requirements, fees, and processing times for visitor visas, which can vary based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit.
Common Requirements for a Visitor Visa:
While specific documents vary by country, here are the general requirements you can expect:
- Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay and have sufficient blank pages.
- Visa Application Form: Duly completed and signed.
- Passport-Sized Photographs: Recent photos meeting specific size and background requirements.
- Proof of Financial Means: Bank statements (typically for the last 3-6 months), salary slips, tax returns (ITR), or a sponsorship letter with supporting financial documents from your host, demonstrating you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay.
- Travel Itinerary: Confirmed flight bookings (round trip), hotel reservations, and a detailed plan of your activities.
- Purpose of Visit: A clear and compelling letter explaining the reason for your visit. If visiting family/friends, an invitation letter from them is often required.
- Ties to Home Country: Documents demonstrating your strong ties to your home country (e.g., employment letter, property ownership, family commitments) to assure the authorities you intend to return.
- Travel Insurance: Often mandatory, covering medical emergencies and repatriation.
- Biometrics: Fingerprints and a photograph are typically required at a Visa Application Centre (VAC).
