TOURIST AND VISIT VISA

By Nneka Odilichukwu


A tourist visa is an approval or license issued to people who are interested or have the desire of entering or visiting a particular country for the main objective of travelling and touring a selected area of the country on a recreational trip, filled with lots of exciting activities or just to visit their relatives in that country.

 A tourist visa gives the applicant, the privilege of residing in the country for a period of 3-6 months, unless stated otherwise in the visa.

The visa holder doesn't have the right to seek employment or to start working in their host country unless stated differently in the visa.

Just as our Slogan says, it's really good to tour and explore the world, see the world, experience something very different from your present location, either through tourism, visit visa or even immigration. 

Don't just stay in a particular place, while the years crawl by. Different continents, countries and places you've no idea they exist are waiting for you.

We all want to create beautiful memories to grow old with.
Thomas Fuller once said that travel makes a wise man better.
Travelling also makes one discover great and new things/inventions, beautiful cities, great museums, etc and also broadens our experience and knowledge about various countries and their way of life, our mind and outlook. And above all, it's always an exciting experience.

Some of us love meeting new people, intelligent people with great personalities, which gives us the opportunities of learning new things and different ways of doing things, different cultures, carnivals and cities.
The advantages of embarking on a visit/tourist trip to other countries and locations can never be exhausted.

To put in an application for tourist or visit visa, there are some series of things you need to do, this is a breakdown of steps to take.


DO YOUR GROUND WORK

Deciding to embark on tourism either local or international is a process. The process of
turning an idea into reality and once you've made up your mind on touring a particular city, the first to do is research.
Virtually everything is already on the Internet and all you have to do is to do a little research on the country of your choice, their visa application, Cost, Process, interview questions, rules and regulations, requirements, etc.

Application Requirement

When you're done doing your groundwork/research. The next thing to do is gather and arrange all the required documents for your application. Like your marriage certificates if any, birth certificate of your children if you have, land properties, national ID card, anything considered to be strong ties that will make you come back to your country.

Passport

Endeavour to renew your passport, if it's about to expire or already expired, before applying for tourist visa.

Proof of funds or Sponsor Statement of account. 

Strong ties: You are expected to provide a proof of ties with your native country, something that will draw you back to your country.
