The main difference between a Visit Visa and a Tourist Visa is the purpose of travel and sometimes the activities allowed during the stay.

1️⃣ Visit Visa

A Visit Visa is issued when you are visiting family members, relatives, or friends in another country.

Key Points:

• Purpose: Meeting family or friends

• Usually requires an invitation letter from the person you are visiting

• May allow longer stay than a tourist visa in some countries

• Sometimes can be single or multiple entry

Example:
If you go to the United Arab Emirates to stay with your brother or cousin, you usually apply for a visit visa.

2️⃣ Tourist Visa

A Tourist Visa is issued for travel, sightseeing, and vacations.

Key Points:

• Purpose: Tourism, holidays, sightseeing

• No invitation letter required

• Usually short stay (15–30–60 days depending on the country)

• Cannot work or do business activities

Example:
If you travel to the United Arab Emirates to visit Burj Khalifa or explore Dubai, you apply for a tourist visa.

✅ Simple way to remember:

• Visit Visa → Visiting people

• Tourist Visa → Visiting places
