Visas

Visa is an extremely important document for border and citizens safety. It is a written permit to cross the state border or stay abroad, issued to foreigners by diplomatic or consular corps of the given state. Most often visas are in the form of a sticker affixed in the passport or any other travel document, but they may also have the form of a stamp or a written annotation.
