  Visa (document) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Visas are associated with merely seeking the permission to enter (or exit) a coutnry, and thus distinct from actual formal permission for an alien to enter and remain in the country.
Visas can also be single-entry, which means the visa is cancelled as soon as the holder leaves the country, double-entry, or multiple-entry, permitting multiple entries into the country with the same visa.
Overstaying a visa's validity period is considered illegal immigration and the offender may be fined, deported, or even fllisted from entering the country again.
