How Long Can I Stay on a Tourist Visa?

There is nothing to be confused about. The permitted duration of stay on a tourist visa might vary based on the country you are visiting and the type of visa you have applied for. So, generally, a tourist visa will allow you to stay for a maximum of 90 days in most countries. However, the USA, UK, Canada, and Japan are exceptions, as here the limit can be 180 days.

As per my knowledge, the maximum duration of your stay will depend on the country and the specific type of visa you apply for. However, I still advise you to check the specific requirements of the country you are planning to visit, as the rules and regulations may differ significantly.

Several countries have restrictions on the duration of stay for each entry on a tourist visa. For example, a one-month tourist visa might permit you to stay for a maximum of 30 days; on the other hand, a one-year or five-year visa might permit you to stay for up to 180 days within a calendar year.

I'm not familiar with other countries, but in India, you have various e-tourist visa options. So, if you apply for a 30-day e-tourist visa, you will obviously be allowed to stay for 30 days with double-entry. However, this is neither convertible nor extendable. Additionally, you can apply for a 1-year e-tourist visa, which allows you to stay for up to 180 days within a calendar year with multiple entries. Similarly, the 5-year e-tourist visa, which allows you to stay for up to 180 days with multiple entries, is the only difference between these two.
