A Tourist Visa allows a foreign national entry into a country for the purposes of tourism. Visiting family or friends is usually covered under this category. There are usually conditions attached to this class of visa that require the applicant to supply a return air ticket (round-trip air ticket), and proof of sufficient funds for their stay. Most immigration officials from rich countries will carefully scrutinize any tourist visa applications from citizens of poor or developing countries, as they are particularly worried about people over staying or working illegally. IMPORTANT: It is practically impossible for most ladies from the Philippines to obtain a US Tourist Visa. Under no circumstances should you ever send money to a lady who you have not met in person to purchase a plane ticket or passport to visit you on a tourist visa.

A Fiancée Visa allows a foreign national entry into a country for the purpose of marrying a citizen of the host country. There are usually conditions attached to the class of visa that require you to prove that you genuinely intend to marry your fiancé(e) within a specified time limit from the date you are granted a visa, and that you intend to then live with your partner as their spouse. Once you marry your spouse will probably have a 1 or 2 year probationary period before permanent residency is granted. IMPORTANT: Most countries including USA, UK, Australia and Canada require that you must have met your fiancée in person before you can apply for a fiancée visa.

A Spouse Visa allows a foreign national who is married to a citizen of the host country to enter the host country as the wife or husband of the sponsor. You will have to provide evidence that you have married and that you intend to remain together as a genuine husband and wife. Your spouse will probably have a 1 or 2 year probationary period before permanent residency is granted.
