Business visas are short-term visas meant for people travelling for business on behalf of their employers. A business visa allows the bearer to enter the host country and engage in business activities without joining that country’s labor market. The applicant typically must show that they are not receiving income from the country. For example, an individual may require a business visa if they are travelling to a country to do business with another company or if they are attending a business conference.
Applicants often associate business visas with work visas. They assume that, because they’ll be working during their trip, they need a work visa. However, you only need a work visa if you are actually taking up a job in the other country. Business visa applications usually require more supporting documentation than tourist visas. Each country has their own set of requirements for business visas, some more complex than others. You’ll need to confirm the requirements for your destination by checking with the appropriate Embassy.
Some specific activities that would require a business visa include:
- Visiting overseas offices of your own company
- Business meetings and negotiations with a foreign company
- Site visits
- Presenting at a trade show or conference
- Dealing with business-related legal matters, including going to court
You will need to establish that you meet all the requirements to receive the category of visa for which you are applying. Before beginning the visa process, please read the below general guidelines for the business visa of the country that you are visiting carefully:
