Common Types of Tourist Visas

Visas are generally categorized by how you enter and how many times you can use them:

1. By Entry Frequency

Single-Entry: Allows you to enter the country once. If you leave, the visa becomes invalid even if the duration hasn't expired.

Double-Entry: Allows you to enter, leave (perhaps to a neighboring country), and return once more.

Multiple-Entry: Allows you to enter and leave as many times as you like within the visa’s validity period (common for 1-year, 5-year, or 10-year visas).

2. By Application Method

Standard Sticker Visa: Applied for at an Embassy or Consulate before travel. A physical sticker is placed in your passport.

eVisa (Electronic Visa): Applied for online. You receive a digital PDF to print and show at the border. Many countries use Official Government Portals for this.

Visa on Arrival (VoA): You do not apply in advance. You simply show up at the airport, pay a fee, and get your permit stamped.

Visa-Free / Waiver: Certain nationalities can enter for a set period (e.g., 90 days) without any prior application based on bilateral agreements.
