Think of it like this: you’ll generally need your travel ID (passport), a form you fill out (visa application), some pictures of you, proof you can pay for your trip, and your travel schedule. Now and then, they might also want a short note about why you’re visiting and copies of your flight and hotel reservations. The exact things you need can change depending on the country you’re planning to visit.

Think of it like this: how long you can visit a country as a tourist depends on two main things – where you’re going and where you’re from. It could be a quick visit of just a few weeks, or you might get to hang around for a few months, usually one to three. You might get to stay in some places, like the USA or Europe, for up to half a year – that’s a long trip! But each country has its own time limits, so always check the rules for where you’re going.

Imagine a tourist visa is just for having a good time on holiday. It lets you explore and enjoy, but not work for money or attend school. If you’re dreaming of getting a job or studying in another country, you’ll need a different kind of permission, like a work or student visa. So, always check what’s allowed in the country you’re visiting!

Getting your tourist visa can take a short time or a long time. It all depends on which country you’re visiting, where you’re from, and the visa office dealing with your request. So, getting your tourist pass can be super quick, like just a few days, or it might take longer, like weeks or even a couple of months. The simplest way to figure out how long you’ll likely be waiting is to look at the website of the special office (embassy or consulate) for the country you want to visit. They usually have the latest news on how long things are taking.
