Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Portuguese term or phrase:
aponha o Visto no seu passaporte
English translation:
to affix a visa in her passport
Portuguese term
a ponha o Visto no seu passaporte
I am translating a job certificate from Angola and I am not sure what this refers to.
The person the certificate relates to is working as a trainee lawyer and the full sentence reads:
"Por ser verdade e me ter sido solicitado, mandei passar a presente declaracao para a entidade a quem disser respeito, a ponha o Visto no seu passaporte a fim de se descolcar ao estrangeiro"
I think "se descolcar" is maybe a spelling mistake for "se deslocar"?
My attempt so far is: "In witness whereof and as requested of me, I ordered the issuance of this declaration to the relevant body, XXX, so that she can travel abroad".
This is for UK English.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

"D E N M A R K
Denmark does not use separate sheets when issuing visas. If there is not enough space to AFFIX A VISA STICKER on a travel document, the applicant is asked to apply for a new passport."

"If your application for a visa has been approved, the Embassy to which you applied will AFFIX A VISA TO YOUR PASSPORT."
"Once the Canadian Visa Office has assessed your application they will make a decision and AFFIX A VISA COUNTERFOIL IN YOUR PASSPORT or otherwise issue you with a letter explaining why a visa could not be granted."

stamp a visa in / on her passport
Based on this excerpt from a UK website, I suggest "stamp" as the translation for "ponha":
"A UK visa is the authorizing document that gives worldwide citizens the right to enter, stay temporarily or live forever in the territory of the UK. A visa is usually either ** a stamp you receive in your passport ** or a document given by a UK consulate or embassy in your country of residence." - https://visaguide.world/europe/uk-visa/
As far as the preposition, I've seen both "in" and "on":
