whenever you go abroad or visit another country for traveling you may need passport and visa. before traveling, you have to know the differences between a passport and a visa. also, I would like to explain about the procedures to make a passport or visa.
WHAT IS A PASSPORT?
A passport is issued to a country's citizens for international travel and identification. It is always used to verify one's country of citizenship. If traveling outside your country, it is used to regain entry into your country of citizenship.
- A passport includes a photo of you, your name, birthdate, gender, and physical characteristics.
- For U.S citizens, some countries only require a passport for re-entry. Other countries may require a visa before entry. You should confirm if a country-specific visa is required before traveling.
- Diplomats and government officials are granted different passports than what's given to regular travelers.
WHAT IS VISA?
- A visa is an endorsement placed on a passport granting the holder official permission to enter, leave or stay in a country for a specified time period
- The most common visa types are tourist, student, work and transit visas.
- Depending on where you are traveling, a visa can be valid for a single or multiple visits.
- Some visas require an application to be filled prior to entering the country and other visas are granted upon entering the country
- Certain countries require an interview or medical screening prior to applying for a visa.

2. HOW TO APPLY A VISA
What exactly is a visa?
Essentially, a travel visa is a document that shows you’re allowed to enter a specific country, for a specific length of time, to do a specific thing such as tour or study or work. Unless they submit a waiver, our government requires visitors from other countries to get a visa before visiting the U.S.
With regards to American tourists, some countries require visas, some
do not, and some base the need for a visa on your length of stay.
Do I need one?
First, visit the “Americans Traveling Abroad” page of the U.S. State Department website to see if the country you’re visiting requires a visa. There, you’ll view the specific “entry requirements” for that nation.

Almost without question, countries in the Schengen Area
— a coalition of 26 mostly European countries as far north as Norway
and as far south as Greece — allow tourists to visit for up to 90 days
without a visa. Check the websites of these nations’ consulates, but
it’s fairly certain you won’t need a visa to enter them.
Lots of non-European destinations (China, Brazil, and Vietnam, for example) require a visa no matter how long you’re staying.
What’s my first move?
When hunting for visa applications online, you’ll want to start at the embassy or consulate website for the nation you’re visiting. Typically, you’ll fill out visa application forms online, print and mail them in, or hand deliver them to the nation’s local consulate.

After processing your documents, the consulate will mail you a visa
that attaches into your passport. On average, the process takes anywhere
from two weeks to two months.
What will it cost?
You’ll usually have to send a money order or check along with your visa application. Typical visas range in cost from $50 to $200. For example, a Brazilian visa costs $160, and an Indian visa costs $76, barring additional fees.

Can I make the process faster?
If you’re in a pinch, there are agencies that will fill out paperwork and secure a visa for you at lightening speed— sometimes even overnight. Service fees are about $100 to $300 per visa, but if you’re in a hustle or overwhelmed with documents, they may be worth it.
