01 · DEFINITIONWhat Visa means

A visa is a formal authorization issued by a state allowing a foreign national to enter, transit, or remain in that country under defined conditions. Depending on the jurisdiction and visa class, it may relate to tourism, business, employment, investment, family, or other purposes. For internationally mobile entrepreneurs, it is important to understand that a visa does not automatically create tax residency, work authorization in all contexts, or permanent immigration status. Its exact legal effect always depends on the country and the visa category involved.
