visas

Visas are official endorsements in a passport that allow a foreign national to enter, remain within, or leave a country. They are issued by a country's government and are typically required for international travel and temporary or permanent residency.

Why it’s in the news: Visas are in the news due to the Trump administration's active use of them as a policy tool, including for restricting entry, revoking them from officials, and expanding high-skilled worker programs.
