Visa application
To apply for a visa, you first need to have a passport.
So what's a passport?
A passport is an official document that is issued by a government and allows a person to travel to and from foreign countries.
It is a form of identification (ID) with features like the holder's image, details like date of birth, place of birth, colour of eyes etc.
If you are planning on traveling outside your country, one of the first things you will need is a passport. Check your country's passport application requirements.
In most cases, a primary identification document like a birth certificate, national ID, or in some cases, a baptismal card may be required. Passports have expiry dates.
Depending on countries, children passports expire after five years and adult ones after 10 years. You cannot travel on an expired passport because it is not valid.
A visa is an authorization with conditions and limited duration issued by a country to a foreigner to enter and remain within its borders.
In simple terms, it's like when a stranger wants to visit you, but they have to first apply to come. In the application, they've to state what they're coming for and for how long. They also have to show that they'll leave after the visit and that they have enough money to take care of themselves because you don't want to incur any expenses to host them - food, entertainment, medication, etc.
They also have to show that they're a good person, not a criminal that might try to steal from you or kill you. This application costs money and you can refuse to let that stranger visit your house without reimbursing the application fee. People from some countries don't need to apply for visas to visit some countries depending on agreements between those countries.

A visa is usually superimposed on a passport so make sure you have enough pages on the passport if you need a new visa otherwise you might be required to apply for a new one.
Some countries require travelers to have visas to be allowed into those countries. Airlines check to make sure that a traveler is eligible to travel to a given country. Without a visa, one won't be allowed to board the aircraft.
