Visa Types You Definitely Need to Know!

Planning an international trip? Understanding the different types of visas is the first step to a smooth journey. Here is a simple breakdown of the three main visa types you need to know before booking your flights.

1. The Stamped Visa (Traditional Visa)

This is the traditional way of getting a visa. It is a physical sticker permanently pasted into your passport.

2. The E-Visa (Electronic Visa)

As the name suggests, this visa is processed and delivered entirely digitally via email.

3. Visa on Arrival (VoA)

This is the ultimate hassle-free option for spontaneous travelers. You don’t need to apply for or obtain a visa before leaving your home country.

Pro Tip

If you plan to spend an equal amount of time in two different Schengen countries, you must apply at the Consulate of the country whose external borders you will cross first upon entering the Schengen Area.
