What Is A Visa?
A visa is a travel document that allows you to enter a foreign country for a specific period of time. There are many different types of visas but the most commonly referred to are tourist and business visas.How Much Does A Visa Cost?
Visa prices can range from $50-$200 depending on the length of time you choose (short-term or longer-term) and the country you’re visiting. An application for a visa can take time to process and has to be mailed in so please make sure you allow enough time before your trip to get everything needed back.
