Difference between Passport and Visa
Passport – Passport is a travel document that the government of a country issued to its citizens. This document verifies the identity and authenticity of the holder for the purpose of international travel. It is necessary for adults and children, even babies, to have a passport. The passport is a small booklet in which all the information like person’s name, date of birth, place of birth, gender, photo, signature, passport date of issue date, date of expiry or passport number is mentioned in details. Before issuing the passport, the applicant is carefully examined and only then the passport is issued. Passport is accepted as the most important ID for traveling to another country.
Visa – Visa is an official document through which you can enter a foreign country. If you want to visit any foreign country, you will get a visa from that country, there will be no role of Indian government in it. Visas are usually stamped or affixed to the passport. There are many types of visas, your visa will be issued according to the purpose for which you are going or which country you are in.
