A business visa is issued for business travel such as attending trade fairs and conferences, business meetings, visiting clients and suppliers, or short-term in-house training. A decisive factor in the application is submitting a complete invitation letter showing the business purpose of the trip, together with your company's official documents.
Who is a business visa for?
Company owners, employees travelling on behalf of their company and self-employed professionals who have received an invitation can apply for a business visa. It is suitable for short-term business activities that do not require a work permit; if you will be in paid employment abroad, you need a work visa.
The business visa application process step by step
- We assess the purpose of your trip and your relationship with the inviting organisation.
- We list documents such as the invitation letter, certificate of activity, authorised signatory list and letter of assignment.
- We review your company and personal financial documents.
- We complete the application form and book your appointment.
- We follow the process after submission until a decision is made and, if needed, respond to requests for additional documents together.
Key points for your business visa application
- The invitation letter should clearly state the dates and purpose of the visit and who will cover the costs.
- Make sure your company documents are up to date and certified.
- If you travel for business frequently, consider long-term or multiple-entry visa options.
- Document checklists vary by country; your consultant will provide the current checklist before you apply.
