Introduction: What is an Immigration Visa?

Immigration visas are documents that allow certain foreign nationals to come into a country for a limited time to work, study or participate in other types of activities. Visas allow immigrants to enter a country and remain there for a limited time. They make sure immigrants have the right to return home.

The type of visa granted to immigrants varies from country to country, as the laws governing immigration differ from one nation’s policies. In order for an immigrant’s visa application to be successful, they need sponsorship from their employer, educational institution or even family members living in the receiving nation.

There are different types of immigration visas: permanent residency visas, travel visas, business visas and student visas.

What are the 4 Main Types of Visas?

The four main types of visas are

* student visas

* tourist visas

* work visas

* permanent immigration residency visas

Student visas are permits that allow people to stay in a country for a limited period of time, usually for school.  A student visa certifies the bearer has the right to live in the US to study at an educational establishment in the country.

Tourist visas are a special type of non-immigrant visa that allows a person to enter the country for the explicit purpose of tourism. They allow people to enter the country and enjoy their vacation.

A work visa is an individual who has been selected by an employer from abroad to work in the host country on a temporary basis. A person may be granted a work visa if they are qualified to do the job and will not be taking away employment opportunities from citizens of the host country. There are different categories of work visas. Check out our site to learn more!

Is There a Way to Get Around the Requirements for Visas?

Visitors to the United States need to apply for a visa in order to enter the country. US law requires that visitors submit to an interview at the embassy or consulate of their home country when applying for a visa. It is possible, however, to get around these requirements in special circumstances.

There are exemptions available in certain situations. For example, if you are traveling on business with a company that has an agreement with the U.S., you might be able to get around some of these requirements. If you are coming for medical treatment, there may also be exemptions available.
