A visa is a work authorization or written permission that is provided by a countryโs governing authority to an individual or to a company on behalf of a person that is not a citizen of a country to enable them to undertake a specific purpose that they are intending to enter the nation for such as for leisure, education, or business endeavors. In esports, foreign gamers, coaches, and casters may enter a country that they are not citizens of in order to compete, broadcast, or coach an esports event. Accordingly, the potential repercussions for failing to properly obtain a visa prior to entering a foreign country could include the individual being denied entry to the country or worse. In order to increase local events and to simplify the visa application and approval process, some nations have even created distinct visa classifications solely applicable to competitive gaming and esports events.
