A Visa is a document from the country you want to visit saying that you have their permission to enter.

Answer 2

A few of the people already answered this correctly so I will keep it brief and add one thing that others may not realize.

A passport is a issued by your country's government. A visa is permission from a country allowing you to come to there country for only X amount of days which this does vary depending on the country. There are tourist visas as well as work visas.

A passport says good for 10 years, however your passport needs to be valid 6 months after your return date back into your country. So think of it as your passport is good for 9 1/2 years. Many people do not know this and that is where a travel agent is a good resource to make sure everything is in order so you don't have problems on your holiday.

A passport is a travel document issued by a national government that usually identifies the bearer as a national of the issuing state and requests that the bearer be permitted to enter and pass through other countries.
Passports are connected with the right of legal protection abroad and the right to enter one's country of nationality. Passports usually contain the holder's photograph, signature, date of birth, nationality, and sometimes other means of individual identification. Many countries are in the process of developing biometric properties for their passports in order to further confirm that the person presenting the passport is the legitimate holder.

A visa is a document issued by a country giving a certain individual permission to formally request entrance to the country during a given period of time and for certain purposes. Most countries require possession of a valid visa as a condition of entry for foreigners, though there exist exemption schemes. Visas are typically stamped or attached into the recipient's passport, or are sometimes issued as separate pieces of paper.
