- A permit to enter and leave a country, normally issued by the authorities of the country to be visited.

- 2009 January 13, Cade Metz, “Sun MySQLers barred from Oz”, in The Register, archived from the original on 2020-06-17:
- Several Sun MySQLers have been denied short stay business visas to Australia - yes, Australia - as they attempted to attend a Linux conference in Hobart, Tasmania. According to a blog post from Kaj Arno, vice president in charge of "database community" at Sun Microsystems, several employees - many of whom worked with MySQL - have been barred from entering Oz.
- 2016, James S. Kessler, Echoes of Empire:
- However, I couldn't continue by land to Georgia, as I would have liked: Russia still maintains its crazy, Sovietesque visa regulations, which makes getting a transit visa extremely difficult and extremely expensive.

Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *visa (“hard?”). Cognate with Estonian visa, Karelian visa and Livonian vizā. The original adjective "hard, difficult, demanding" is now exclusively found in dialects (and some derivations, like visakoivu); the modern sense "quiz" is a backformation of visailla, itself derived from that adjective.
Pronunciation
Noun
visa
- Synonym of visakoivu (“wood obtained from a mutation of the silver birch”)
- quiz (competition in the answering of questions)
