Description of Passport and
Visa (Travel Document)
A travel document is
an identity document issued by a government or
international treaty organization to facilitate the movement of individuals or
small groups of persons across international boundaries, following
international agreements. Travel documents usually assure other
governments that the bearer may return to the issuing country, and are often
issued in booklet form to allow other governments to place visas as
well as entry and exit stamps into them. The most common travel
document is a passport, which usually gives the bearer more privileges
like visa-free access to certain countries.
According to Meriam Webster
passport is a formal document issued by an authorized official of a country to
one of its citizens that is usually necessary for exit from and reentry into
the country, that allows the citizen to travel in a foreign country in
accordance with visa requirements, and that requests protection for the citizen
while abroad.
Visa is certificate
issued or a stamp marked (on the applicant's passport) by the immigration
authorities of a country to indicate that the applicant's credentials have been
verified and he or she has been granted permission to enter the country for a
temporary stay within a specified period.
Type
of passport
official passport
An official passport is issued to an employee or
official of the U.S. Government traveling abroad to carry out official duties.
This same type of passport can be issued to spouses and family members of such
persons when authorized by the Department of State.
Applicants must submit the same application form and
supporting documents required for a regular passport through the Special
Passport Issuance Agency. In addition, evidence of official status must be
submitted. There is no free for this type of passport. The official
passport is issued for a validity of 5 years, cannot be used for leisure travel
and must be returned when official duty ends as part of the checkout process.
Diplomatic Passport
Diplomatic passports are issued to employees of the US
State Department who are required to travel or work overseas on State
Department business. Diplomatic passports are issued only in Washington, DC, at
the Special Issuance Agency of the Washington Passport Agency.
Regular Passport
A regular passport is issued to American citizens and
nationals who may or may not be a U.S. citizen. Nationals who are not granted
citizenship are those who are born in either American Samoa or Swains Island.
The regular passport is often referred to as a tourist passport although it is
also used by those who travel for business, study, work and other purposes.
A regular passport book has a blue cover and is issued
with the standard 28 pages or non-standard 52 pages. This type of passport has
a validity of 10 years when issued to an applicant age 16 or older and 5 years
when issued to a minor age 15 or younger.
