What is VISA?

Answer 1

visa is a form of permission for a non-citizen to travel to, enter, transit or remain in a particular country. A visa does not guarantee entry. That remains the right of the immigration officials of the country concerned.
Some countries may ask visitors to present return tickets and evidence of means (vailability of funds) to cover their intended stay. Some countries may refuse entry to visitors who do not comply with their requirements regarding general appearance and clothing.
Some countries have compulsory currency exchange regulations on first entry. Only the country/countries you plan to visit can provide up-to-date information about visa requirements for South African passport holders.
Deportation is at the traveller's expense.
Application for visitors and business visas, work, study, own business and immigration permits.

Answer 2

If you’re a citizen of a foreign country, in most cases you’ll need a visa to enter the new country.

A visa doesn’t permit entry to any country, however. A visa simply indicates that your application has been reviewed by a for e.g U.S. consular officer at an American embassy or consulate, and that the officer has determined you’re eligible to enter the country for a specific purpose. Consular affairs are the responsibility of the . Department of State.

A visa allows you to travel to any country as far as the port of entry (airport or land border crossing) and ask the immigration officer to allow you to enter the country. Only the immigration officer has the authority to permit you to enter new country. He or she decides how long you can stay for any particular visit. Immigration matters are the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security.

There are two categories of visas: immigrant and nonimmigrant.

Immigrant visas are for people who intend to live permanently in any desired country. Nonimmigrant visas are for people with permanent residence but who wish to be in the new country on a temporary basis – for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work or study.

# A visa is either a multicolored stamp or computerized document affixed to a page in the passport by a US Consular office abroad. It allows international visitors to travel to the US as long as the visa has not expired. Once visitors are admitted into the US, visas are no longer the most important documents governing their status. A visa is used only for travel to the US, but it is not used to determine how long individuals may stay in the US.
