TOURIST VISA:
Tourist visa is appropriate if you want to visit a country for "pleasure". Applicants for visitor visas must show that they qualify under provisions of Immigration and Nationality Acts. The presumption in the law is that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant. Therefore, individuals applying for visitor visas must overcome this presumption. Applicants must demonstrate that they have a residence in their home country which they do not intend to abandon, that they wish to enter the host country for a specifically limited period, and that the purpose of the trip is to enter for business, tourism or medical treatment. It allows you to stay within a country for a longer period of time.
TRANSIT VISA:
During your intermediate international stop over, if you have sufficient time and you want to tour the city and/or country, you may apply for transit visa at the appropriate counter at the airport. Transit visa is a temporary short period visa during your journey. Some countries require that you have a stop over of a minimum of 24 hours to grant you transit visa.
Recently, several countries have started to require transit visa for persons transiting their countries even if they do not want to go out of airport. However, most people who are going to or coming from with valid visa do not require transit visa. There has been lot of confusion in this regard among people and many times even airline staff does not have correct information.
