Generally, basic information on a visa  includes the type, code, the purpose of entry/departure/transit within the country, duration, valid times, issuing department, issuing location, signatures and seals by officials, issuing date and the expense. Some countries also attach a photo of the visa holder, which must be consistent with the passport photo; some others also emboss the printing and incorporate an anti-faking trademark.

 Visa Code: In order to be advantageous in both recognition and management, according to different purposes of applicants, some countries use different letters as the visa code marked on the issued visa.

 Period of Validity: It is an extremely important condition of a visa, which is imprinted on all visas. The period of validity indicates that the visa is only valid for a limited period of time, if that time limit is exceeded, the visa expires. Therefore, the applicants should leave for your target country within its valid period.
