A visa is a document that is needed by residents of a country who seek to enter another country. The country one aspires to enter must confer a visa which is placed in the traveler’s passport, a travel document issued by the traveler’s country of citizenship. To arrive in the U.S. one must first obtain a US visa. There are about 185 types of US visas, grouped into two main categories:
