various documents
!assport
A passport is a document, issued by a national government, which certifies,
for the purpose of international travel, the identity and nationality of its
holder. The elements of identity are name, date of birth, sex, and place of
birth. Most often, nationality and citizenship are congruent.
A passport does not of itself entitle the passport holder to consular protection
while abroad or any other privileges, in the absence of any special
agreements which cover the situation. It does, however, normally entitle the
passport holder to return to the country which issued the passport. Rights to
consular protection arise from international agreements, and the right to
return arises from the laws of the issuing country. A passport does not
represent the right or the place of residence of the passport holder in the
country which issued the passport
Visa
A visa is a document that has been seen is a document issued by a country
giving an individual permission to formally reuest entrance to the country
during a given period of time and for certain purposes and usually stamped
or glued inside of a passport or sometimes issued as separate pieces of paper.
Many countries reuire possession of a valid passport and visa as a condition
of entry for foreigners, though there exist exemptions
!isas are associated with the reuest for permission to enter "or exit# a
country and are thus, for some countries, distinct from actual formal
permission for an alien to enter and remain in the country.
$ome countries reuire that their citizens, and sometimes foreign travelers,
obtain an exit visa in order to be allowed to leave the country
Taxes
Stamp duty is a form of tax that is levied on documents. %istorically, a
physical stamp had to be attached to or impressed upon the document to
denote that stamp duty had been paid before the document became legally
effective. More modern versions of the tax no longer reuire a physical
stamp

Re-entry permit
A re-entry permit is reuired by some countries, for their citizens or
tourists who leave the country for an extended period of time. &or example,

travel abroad for an extended period of time "up to two years# while
maintaining their permanent residency.
