No, an entry visa and an exit visa are not the same.
An entry visa is a document issued by a country’s authorities that allows a foreign national to enter the country for a specific purpose, such as tourism, business, work, or study. It is usually obtained before traveling to the country and is presented to immigration officers upon arrival at the port of entry. The entry visa grants permission to enter the country and stay for a specified period or until a specific date.
On the other hand, an exit visa is a document issued by a country’s authorities that allows a foreign national to leave or exit the country. Some countries require individuals to obtain an exit visa before leaving, particularly if they have specific immigration or legal status within that country. Exit visas are relatively rare and are typically associated with countries that have more restrictive immigration policies.
It’s important to note that not all countries require exit visas, and the requirements can vary depending on the country and individual circumstances. It’s always recommended to check the specific visa and immigration regulations of the country you are visiting or residing in to understand the requirements for both entry and exit.
