Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Visas

Immigrant visas allow individuals to move permanently to a country, often leading to citizenship, based on family, employment, or refugee status. Non-immigrant visas are for temporary stays, such as studying, tourism, or business, with specific time limits and conditions. While immigrant visas grant permanent residency rights, non-immigrant visas require travelers to leave once their purpose is fulfilled. Both types are essential for legal entry, with the choice depending on the individual's intentions and plans in the destination country.
