Tourist Visa

A tourist visa grants legal entry for leisure, tourism, or visiting friends and family, allowing for pre-determined stays and providing flexibility for multiple entries or longer validity periods. It enables travel to a wide range of countries and can be a key component for international education, medical tourism, or professional travel that requires repeat visits. Holding certain long-term tourist visas, like a 10-year US visa, can also simplify travel to other countries that offer visa waivers or "visa on arrival" to holders of those passports.

Core benefits

Legal entry for leisure: A tourist visa legally allows you to enter a foreign country for recreational purposes, such as sightseeing, vacationing, or visiting family and friends.

Flexibility and convenience: It can offer flexible duration, sometimes allowing multiple entries over a specific period, which avoids the need for frequent new visa applications for repeat trips. Extended validity: Some visas, like the 10-year US B-1/B-2 visa, provide a long period of validity, making future travel much simpler.

Access to multiple countries: A single multiple-entry visa can provide access to a group of countries, like the Schengen Area in Europe, eliminating the need for separate visas for each nation.

Simplified travel to other destinations: A valid tourist visa from a trusted country can make it easier to get visas for, or even enter visa-free, other nations, enhancing travel credibility and convenience.
