immigration

If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU, you might need a visa to travel to an EU country for different purposes, including work or holiday. 

A visa is a sticker in your travel document which is given to you by an EU country and which allows you to enter and remain in that country for a certain period of time. It may also give you the right to travel to other EU countries. 

Concerning the length of validity, there are two types of visa: short-stay and long-stay.
