A 'visa' is a conditional authorization granted in order for people to stay in the Borderlands. Visas are granted to both players and dealers through the games. As every day passes, the amount of visa remaining for a player reduces by 1 at midnight. If someone's visa hits 0 by midnight, that person is killed by the laser from the sky.
Overview[]
Players[]
Players gain VISAs by having their game result in a GAME CLEAR. The reward amount of days in the VISAs is based on the numbered difficulty in the card. (EG. An "Eight of Clubs" game provides 8 days of VISA to a player if they clear the game) In the Second Stage, players are provided 11 days of VISA for clearing a Jack game, 12 for a Queen and 13 for a King.
Dealers[]
Dealers gain VISAs by having their game result in a GAME OVER. The reward amount of days in the VISAs is based on the number of players that were killed in the game they are overseeing. (EG. 10 players killed in a game provides 10 days of VISA to a dealer if no one attains a GAME CLEAR situation)
Citizens[]
Citizens do not have VISAs as they have attained permanent residency. If they join a game, it is assumed that they will not receive a VISA.
Trivia[]
- In the Netflix adaptation of Alice in Borderland, phones are used for providing VISAs instead of cash registers.
- Yuji Mahiru has the highest confirmed total of VISA days, reaching 32 days after clearing the Queen of Clubs game.
- He also has the highest confirmed sojourn in the current immigration period, being in the Borderlands for at least 68 days.
- The Nine of Hearts game in Retry does not provide a VISA upon completion and instead will send a player back to the real world if completed. It is unknown if this game had a dealer or not, but it is assumed it does not have a dealer assigned to oversee the game.
