Question

Are the tourist/living visas from the same company as Visa Credit Card?

Answer 1

That was a good one! ^ __ ^

Answer 2

A visa is issued by a government and permits you to enter a country and do certain things within it.

A Visa card is a debit or credit card. Visa Inc. is a private business and has nothing to do with any country's government. They picked the name because "visa" is a word most people understand regardless of what language they speak, and it suggests that it's accepted everywhere, like a government-issued travel visa to a country.

You should read those two articles for more details on the differences:

Answer 3

VISAs have been issued by governments for a couple of hundred YEARS... VISA.. the company was NAMED after the government issued visa program.... they are not even close to being related or the same thing

Answer 4

The Visa credit card is not related in any way to visas which allow non-citizens to visit or live in a country.

It used to be called BankAmericard, as a matter of fact.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 8

I don't know if you are serious....the 2 things are very different.  Visa credit card it just the name of a credit card company and has nothing to do with a temporary or residential visa issued by the government for non-us citizens
