Business Visas

A business visa is a visa that allows you to conduct business in a country and is generally multiple entries.

That is the basic standard description.

In many countries a business visa will also allow you to work. There is a degree of confusion between the differences between a work and business visa.

We will try and explain as simply and clearly as we can,

A work visa specifically allows you to work in a country (it is one of the harder visas to get).

Almost all countries require that you get a work visa if you are a non native of the country that you wish to work.

However, depending upon which country you will be working it is often possible to work using a business visa.

The advantage of doing it this way is that it is a lot easier getting business visas then work visas.

The requirements for a business visa generally are as follows:

An invitation from whomever you will be visiting.

A list of the scheduled meetings that you will be having in country (especially if you will be meeting with government officials)

Roundtrip flight tickets.

Hotel accommodation confirmed.
