Official stamps or marks in a passport that allow someone to enter, leave, or stay in a country for a specific time.
From Latin 'visa', past participle of 'videre' (to see), meaning 'things seen' or 'things examined'. The term comes from the idea of an official examining your documents.
Some countries issue visas that are valid for 10 years but only let you stay for 14 days each visit—the length of validity and the length of stay are completely separate rules, which confuses travelers constantly.
