A visa: (deriving from Latin meaning "paper that has been seen”) is a conditional authorization, which one can obtain by either: delivering specific, required, certified, translated, stamped, legalized, approved (and not double-side-printed because the Austrian embassy doesn’t like that) pieces of paper, or by making sure to be born in a country that acquires wealth, status, and power. The visas typically come in the form of obviously a sticker. This sticker, is then granted by the in charge political entity of a territory to an alien allowing them to enter, exist within, or exist outside their territory. Limiting their duration of stay, areas within the territory they may exist in, dates they may start existing there, the number of permitted visits, or if the individual has the ability to perform existential actions such as working, studying, getting medically treated or simply taking residence in the territory at issue.
