Visa Information System

Have you ever gone on a trip with your family to a different country? Do you remember having to get a special sticker or paper in your passport that allowed you to go into that country? That sticker or paper is called a visa.

Now imagine there are millions of people traveling to different countries every year. It would be really hard to keep track of who has a visa and who doesn't, right? That's where the Visa Information System (VIS) comes in!

The VIS is like a big computer system that helps countries keep track of who has a visa and who doesn't. It has a lot of information about people's visas, like when they expire and what type of visa they have.

So, if you go to a different country and your visa expires, the people in charge can check the VIS to make sure you don't overstay your welcome. On the other hand, if you have a valid visa, the VIS can help speed up the process of getting into the country because they already know you have permission to be there.

In short, the Visa Information System is a big computer system that helps countries keep track of who has a visa and who doesn't, making it easier for people to travel and ensuring everyone is following the rules.
