[zeroer]

> visum

Is this supposed to be some kind of faux-Latin plural? I defy you to find an English dictionary that contains this word.

[jules]

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.

[blowski]

Apparently, it is the singular of visa in German.

[kaeluka]

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

[lotsofcows]

It's a pretentious but arguably valid Latin singular.

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

[eric_h]

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