Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries the word visa is used exactly as in English, and it is treated as a feminine noun. When talking about where something is, Spanish speakers always use estar, not ser. Also, it’s common to omit the article before a noun that already has a possessive adjective, so “mi pasaporte” is preferred over “el mi pasaporte.”
