A visa is an endorsement or stamp placed by officials of a foreign country on a U.S. passport that allows the bearer to visit that foreign country. It must be obtained from the appropriate foreign consular representative before proceeding abroad. It is the responsibility of the traveler to obtain visas, where required, from the appropriate embassy or nearest consulate of the country you are planning to visit. For additional visa information, consult the embassy or consulate of the country you plan to visit for details.
