What exactly is a visa? What are the species?
The term "visa" comes from the Latin term "charter visa" and means "the seen paper". The plural is "visa" or "visas".
In terms of its meaning, it is an "endorsement in a passport". whereby the holder of the passport proves that he was allowed entry, transit and stay of a particular country.
There are different forms of visas. The most common are entry visas, which in certain cases are also combined with exit visas. In addition, there are transit visas for travel within a country, where only the airport of a country is used to pass through.
Long-stay visas can be issued as business, study or work visas. A visa for employees coming from another country is called a work visa.
How is the visa issued?
Visas are issued by the foreign mission of the country to which immigration is to be carried out. However, employees usually receive their visas upon entry into the respective country at the border or directly at the airport.
The visa is issued as an endorsement, which is stamped in the form of an entry stamp in the passport of the traveler. In many cases, there is also an additional sheet that is stapled or glued into the passport.
The legal requirements for visas are not uniform and vary significantly from country to country. In addition, entry and exit modalities change quickly. Therefore, prior research on the current regulations of the country to be visited is often recommended.
The visa requirement is intended to verify the conditions for entry and a stay. The purpose of the trip must always be clear. For workers who intend to stay for a long time in a country requiring a visa, the visa application is very important, but very complicated.
This is exactly why you should get an expert to help you avoid subsequent problems. We at MAPOSOL will be glad to help you with your work visa application.
Visa requirement - Who needs a visa?
Third-country nationals generally require a visa to enter the Federal Republic of Germany.
This does not apply to citizens of EU member states and other states for which the European Community has abolished the visa requirement for short stays of up to 90 days within a period of 180 days by means of the Visa Regulation.
Thus, for a longer stay as an employee from the Middle East, you need a visa.
