Visa are needed because the laws of the country require it and to not have one can get one in serious legal trouble.

Depends on what country you are going to - it's based on their laws. I know you need them for Brazil & Russia.

To protect national sovereignty. Without national boundaries and seperate policy, there would be no competition and therefore no new ideas. Corruption would abound. So be glad you have to use a Visa. It's priceless. :)

Imagine if you pay your taxes, then someone who hasn't moves in next door - gets a free house, spending money,etc - Then because they are now a national, move friends, relatives into the country... Now these people being foreigners don't understand your culture, And don't really want to be there - only want the money.... How do you feel about them?
A visa allows a little control on who comes & goes into a country - Who is lightly to stay illegally - who would benifit that country, etc..... If a government has to pay for the people that live in that country - surely its a good idea to require visas...
I think Visa's should come back into force within europe... you may live in europe - but all countries are not created equal! Cultures, languages & financial reasons all play their part.. Too many people at once will destroy our civilisation, look at Australia & America - Massive countrys that limit immigration, even from "Friendly" countrys... Just try to emmigrate to either one & see what happens!

Master Card and American Express are also accpted in many countries outside the US and Canada....

Each country has its own citizens.
When a citizen of one country visits another country, then a record of it has to be kept. The record is the VISA.
Otherwise, you might visit another country, be murdered, and no one would even know you had gone there. They would just think you were a missing person and never think to look in another country for you.

Some countries want to know who's coming to their country before they get here. No matter which country you go to, you need a Passport to get around. A visa is just a second level of security some countries require.
