Different Types of Tourist Visa

Tourist visas come in various types, and the specific categories may vary from country to country. However, some common types of tourist visas include:

Single Entry Tourist Visa: Allows entry into the host country for a specified period, typically for tourism purposes. Once the traveler exits the country, the visa is no longer valid.

Multiple Entry Tourist Visa: Permits the traveler to enter and exit the host country multiple times within a designated timeframe. This is beneficial for those who plan to visit neighboring countries during their trip.

Short-Term Tourist Visa: Typically valid for a shorter duration, often up to 30 or 60 days. It is suitable for brief vacations or business trips.

Long-Term Tourist Visa: Provides an extended stay for tourists who plan to explore a country for an extended period, often beyond 60 days, up to several months.

e-Visa: Many countries now offer electronic visas, allowing travelers to apply online for a tourist visa without visiting an embassy or consulate. 

Visa on Arrival: Some countries offer a visa upon arrival, allowing travelers to obtain a tourist visa when they reach their destination.

Group Tourist Visa: Issued to a group of travelers, often organized by a tour operator. This type of visa is convenient for group vacations and is usually applied for collectively.

Transit Visa: Granted to travelers who are passing through a country to reach their final destination. It is not meant for staying in the country but for a short layover or connecting flight.
