Short business visit
For meetings, negotiations, site visits and short audits. Usually the simplest category.
Types of business visas
Category names and rules vary by country. This guide explains the common types so you can brief us accurately.
Common categories
Conference, exhibition or trade fair
For attending or exhibiting at an event, often supported by registration proof.
Training and technical support
For attending training or providing short-term technical or installation support. Rules differ by country.
Project or installation work
For short project work, which many countries treat differently from a meeting visit.
Long-term work assignment
For employees posted abroad. This normally needs a work permit sponsored by an employer in the destination country.
Multiple-entry business visa
For frequent travellers, where the destination offers it. Validity and stay limits are set by the authority.
Choose the category that matches the real purpose
Applying under the wrong category can lead to refusal or problems at the border. We match the visa to what the employee will actually do, and tell you when a trip is really work that needs a work permit rather than a business visa.
