Sourced from official regulations and statutes
Visa types, rules & limitations
What each visa category actually is, and what it permits or restricts once issued — reproduced from the underlying regulation, not a general summary.
ⓘ This describes what categories exist and what the relevant regulations say about them in general — it is not an assessment of whether a particular category fits your situation, and it is not immigration advice.
This page reproduces the general structure and headline limitations set out in each destination's own immigration regulations and statutes, for reference only. It does not review or comment on any specific application, and does not create any advisory or professional relationship. Regulations change, and some detail here is a shallow first pass rather than a full category-by-category legal review — always confirm current requirements directly on the official government source linked for each destination before relying on this for any application, work, or study decision. Visadecoder is not liable for any loss or decision made based on this data.
