exit visa in authoritarian countries
In fact, many countries have a list of countries and territories whose citizens do not need visas to visit if their stay is within a certain time limit. However, people who wish to work, study or immigrate normally need to apply for a visa to do so beforehand. The main exception to this is for [[European Union]] citizens seeking to exercise treaty rights in another member state.

Several nations require their citizens to obtain an ''exit visa'' in order to leave the country. In [[Iran]] women need written permission from their husbands to leave the country. Ordinary citizens of the Soviet Union were not allowed no leave without and exit visa and permission from the KGB to obtain a passport. Exit visa systems still exist, in a variety of forms, often only for foreign workers in; [[Qatar]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Oman]], [[Russia]], [[North Korea]], and [[Uzbekistan]].<ref>http://www.qatarconstructionreview.com/</ref><ref>Khan, Azfar and Hélène Harroff-Tavel (2011).
