Oh, hi!
So last time, I had talked about passports
If you missed the video, I will provide the link
So you can go back and look if you want to understand more about passports
So what's today's topics?
So what's visas?!
I noticed many people had been asking me
So I am ready today to go ahead and explain it!
So what does the visas look like?
I will show you
So what exactly is a visa?
Really, it's a permission from another country
So if you want to enter to that country
They will look over your passport and can give you permission to allow you to enter
So that, it's permission (finger spelled)
So if you do not have a visa or a stamp
Then you are entering the country illegally
So it's important to be careful
Make sure you have proof or stamp on your passport
that you can use to enter into that specific country for a time limit
So what's the point of having a visa? Why is it important?
It is important because
That's how the country can control the crowd and decide how many people can enter
Also, they wants to protect their citizens
They have been using the visas stamps for many, many years
For that reason which is to decide and control who can go in and out
This process is used all over the world
It's called...
(shows ASL for Globalization ID system)
This is how they used to look at passports and provide visas
They want to identify who you are
Almost all the countries ask for you to have a visa
So where do you get your visas?
It can be from the boat
2nd, from the airport where they provide visa stamps after you land
Or if you are backpacking and walking over to cross the land borders
So for an example
I had experienced when I was in Costa Rica but I wanted to cross over to Nicaragua
So I took a bus to get to the border
I got off and then I walked to the border
They looked at my passport and gave me visa stamps
or you can also use an agency
So those are the four ways you can get a visa
Visa on Arrival
So when you arrive, they will look at your passport and give you a stamp right there
They will put the date on the stamp
So for example, today is July 17.
So with the visa stamp, they will put July 17
They can put a time limit
it can be 30 days
60 days
90 days
So it really depends on each country on how long you can stay
But wait, do all the countries provide visa on arrival?
Noooo!
Some countries require visa ahead of time!
So that means you have to send your passport to your government to get your application approved to enter
I will tell you some of the countries that require visa in advance
Australia, yep! Australia!
Brazil
China
Vietnam
You can send your application to an online agency
That's called E- visa
What does E stand for?
Electronic visa
So that means you get the visa from online
Other is where you send through the paper mail
So there are two ways. It depends
So you will have to research and find that information
Did you know....?!
You pay to enter right?
Now if you want to leave the country, you will have to pay again
That's called....
Yep, that's right
So keep that in mind
You will pay to enter and you will pay to leave
Did you think that even with the visa, are you guaranteed to go in?
Nope, that's not true
It really depends on the person who's handling the visa that decide if you can go in
That person is known as border control officer in embassy, government, etc
They will be the one who get your application and passport
They can go ahead and give you the visa or deny
It really depends on that person to approve your visa or not
So that person who are handling visa application might ask you
Why do you want to enter that specific country? For business? For vacation? For visiting? Etc.
So be prepared if they ask you why you want to enter that country
But all the countries the same? No
Again, it depends on what passport you have
So for mine, I have the US passport
It's different as compared to Europe
People who have European passports
Do they have to get visa for every European countries? No
Some European will be able to enter without visa
Same idea for US with Puerto Rico
Do we need a visa to enter Puerto Rico? No
No, we don't need a visa stamp
Just have to show the passport
So do you see the difference between the two?
So that means you have to check and make sure to see if you need a visa or not
Every day, month and year, everything is always changing
So when you are ready to travel, you must research!
Check and see what's the update
To see if anything changes or still the same
So research is the important key!
