DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ENHANCED ONLINE VISA PROCESSING APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Online Visa Processing Application Development – The most typical form of a visa is a sticker placed inside the applicant’s passport or another type of travel document. Historically, an immigration official would grant a visitor’s visa when one was needed upon their arrival at the country’s borders, but nowadays, in order to enter another country, a traveler must apply for a visa in advance, sometimes in person at a consular office, by mail, or online. The actual visa may still be a sticker or stamp in the passport, but it may also be a separate document or an electronic record of the authorization that the applicant can print at home and present upon arrival in the destination country. For brief stays, certain nations may not require visas.
Some countries require that their citizens, as well as foreign travelers, obtain an “exit visa” to be allowed to leave the country. Uniquely, the Norwegian special territory of Svalbard is an entirely visa-free zone under the terms of the Svalbard Treaty.
Some countries – such as those in the Schengen Area – have agreements with other countries allowing each other’s citizens to travel between them without visas. The World Tourism Organization announced that the number of tourists who require a visa before traveling was at its lowest level ever in 2015.
This paper discusses the design and implementation of an Online Visa registration database application with WAMP SERVER database. It also discusses the issues of selecting appropriate database model, interface design, and system deployment. A projection of record growth in relation to student population and system requirement was carried out in the study. Finally it discusses the applicability of the system in academic institutions. The Programming language used in developing this application is Visual Basic.net 2012. It runs in Windows 98 to Latest windows 8
