If you are in process of getting or applying for a visa, you should become familiar with the visa terminology. Each term used in the visa process have a specific meaning, which often distinct from their meanings in everyday language. Visa applicants often get confused when they encounter with different visa terms. To help you in understanding the visa terminologies, we have listed below some of the terminologies that are frequently used. So that the next time you hear any term you don\u2019t assume it to be an alien language.<\/p>\n
Understanding the visa terminologies help visa applicants in communicating clearly, be it with your travel consultant or with the officer at the Embassy.<\/p>\n
This is one term, which you would get to hear a lot during the process of your visa application. An Embassy is a government complex or a building that is a representative of another nation. A country can have only one Embassy in a foreign country but it can have a number of consulates in different cities. An embassy is the larger representation, whereas a consulate is a smaller version of the embassy.<\/p>\n
A stamp visa resembles your entrance ticket to the country. In most cases, a visa is rubber-stamped or appended on the passport.<\/p>\n
Few countries have eVisa facilities, which allow you to apply for a visa online and get the approval in the electronic format.<\/p>\n
This is another very common term, still alien to many visa applicants. Biometrics is the process to verify someone\u2019s identity collecting their fingerprints and iris scans. A visa applicant is required to go personally to get their biometrics done at the embassy or consulate. If an applicant is applying for a Schengen visa, UK visa etc. will be required to go for biometrics.<\/p>\n
Visa validity is the date the visa is issued until the date it expires. It is a conditional authorization granted by a country to a foreigner, allowing the visa applicant to enter their country for a limited period of time. In simple words, it is the validity that indicates how long the visa is valid.<\/p>\n
The stay validity indicates the validity for how many days you are allowed to stay in a foreign country. The stay validity is generally less than the visa validity.<\/p>\n
A visa that includes family members who are travelling with the applicant is called the accompanying visa. In the case of immigrant visas, accompanying visas are granted with 6 months of issuance to the principal applicant.<\/p>\n
This is a form given to all foreign nationals upon arrival to the US, inquiring about the visitor\u2019s period of stay and the immigrant classification.<\/p>\n
An Embassy or a Consulate has the authority to accept or reject your visa application and checking your requirements and other things whether you are eligible for a visa or not. The acceptance or rejection of an application request does not depend on any agent or visa consultant. This section is known as the Submission\/Collection counter.<\/p>\n
It is a type of visa granted to the spouse of lawful permanent resident holding a green card if the couple has been married for less than two years at the time the green card was issued.<\/p>\n
