Entry Clearance

Entry clearance is an official approval given by a country's immigration authorities that allows a person to enter and stay within that country for a specified purpose and period, such as work, study, or family visits. It typically involves applying in advance and providing necessary documents to demonstrate eligibility. Entry clearance can be in the form of a visa or permit. It ensures the applicant meets the country’s immigration requirements and helps manage border security by determining who is permitted to enter legally.
