English term or phrase: visa
I keep seeing "臔酚X" in a hand-written document I'm translating. (X stands for the character I can't make out.) What is it? I am pretty sure it's some kind of entry or exit permit.

(This is an old man reminiscing about things that took place in 1938, when he left  for America.)
