E-visas are electronic visas that are issued online and typically sent via email as a PDF document. You print this and carry it with your passport. Sticker visas are physical visas that are affixed to a page in your passport by the consulate or embassy.
There are several main categories of visas including tourist visas, business visas, student visas, work visas, transit visas, and immigrant visas. Each country may have specific subcategories within these main types.
While requirements vary by country and visa type, the most common documents needed are: valid passport, completed application form, passport-sized photos, proof of travel arrangements, proof of accommodation, financial statements, and sometimes travel insurance.
