Introduction. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianityâs most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery.
In general, passport and visa are two terms often used in connection with foreign travel. There is a lot of difference between the two terms. One of the main differences between passport and visa is that the passport is a travel document whereas the visa is a kind of permission. This article attempts to clarify the difference between a passport and a visa by way of explaining what each item is and the purpose of it.
A visa is official permission from a country for you to visit. It is usually a stamp in your passport, but is also sometimes a piece of paper or electronic document that states how long you are allowed to stay in that country and in what capacity (tourist, study, etc.). Apply for a visa through the foreign countryâs embassy in the United States several weeks or months in advance.
