Word origin
The word 'visa' originated from the Latin word 'charta visa', which translates to 'paper that has been seen'. Visas have been used as a means of controlling the movement of people for centuries. The modern concept of visas began in the early 20th century when countries started requiring them as a form of permission for entry. Today, visas play a crucial role in international travel and immigration.
