A tourist visa is a type of travel document that allows individuals to enter a foreign country for leisure or vacation purposes. It typically has a limited duration, permitting visitors to stay for a specific period, often ranging from a few days to several months. Tourist visas are usually required for travelers from certain countries, depending on the destination's immigration policies. To obtain a tourist visa, applicants must usually submit an application form, provide identification, and sometimes show proof of accommodation and travel plans. The process may vary by country, and some nations offer visa-free travel or visa-on-arrival options for specific nationalities.
