Apr 12, 2016 at 13:23 comment added Zach Lipton US Preclearence is probably the closest thing to this, though it's not really "visa on departure" and more like immigration and customs on departure. If you need a visa, you still need one in advance; it's just that you'll do at the departure airport with CBP what you'd normally do at the arrival airport.

Apr 12, 2016 at 10:44 comment added CMaster @Tor-EinarJarnbjo I was wondering if there was anywhere where this was standard procedure - basically, I was curious where the OP of the linked question had gotten the idea that was how visas might work. As siad, I realised that some evisas/pseudovisas can sometimes be gotten witht he assitance of airline staff - but I imagine they also tell you "you really should have done this already"
Apr 12, 2016 at 10:36 comment added Tor-Einar Jarnbjo @CMaster: Some eVisas are usually granted immediately. You mention eVisas in your question, but wouldn't that be an answer as well? E.g. when flying to Turkey, for which I need a visa, I could go to the departure airport, apply for a visa myself, which is probably immediately granted, and use that visa when checking in. Or are you asking for personal facilities on the departure airport, operated by a foreign government?

Apr 12, 2016 at 9:07 comment added CMaster @HenningMakholm Hmm yes, perhaps not the best name for it then. That does sound like a great idea. "Well, I've been here for about 20 days, so a visa that covers at least that long please."
