Electronic visa

An electronic visa (E-Visa) and an electronic travel authorization (ETA, also styled eTA) are digital travel permits commonly required in conjunction with a valid passport for entry into specific jurisdictions.

Beginning in the 2000s many countries introduced e-visas and electronic travel authorisations (ETAs) as an alternative to traditional visas.

The application is done over the internet, and the receipt acts as a visa, which can be printed or stored on a mobile device.

Some countries may have more detailed classifications of some of these categories reflecting the nuances of their respective geographies, social conditions, economies, international treaties, etc.

Immigration departments of most countries require electronic visa holder to provide printed confirmation receipt at port of entry.
