It's what we call it in Dutch. Singular: visum, plural: visa. It does indeed come from Latin. I didn't know that it is different in English.

Apparently, it is the singular of visa in German.

German, singular: visum or visa, both work. Plural: visa or visas.

It's a pretentious but arguably valid Latin singular.

"Arguably" because the word comes to English from French not straight from the Latin.

It's only pretentious if you're a native English speaker.

"I didn't know it was different in english"
