A Business Visa is issued for professional purposes, such as attending meetings, conferences, or business negotiations.
To apply, you need a visa form, an invitation letter from the host company, proof of financial stability, and evidence of your ties to your home country. You might also need to pay a fee and attend an interview. Processing times vary, so apply early. Business Visas usually allow you to participate in meetings, conferences, or business negotiations. Working locally is not permitted. If your visa is rejected, you may need to file an appeal or provide additional documentation.
Comply with all visa conditions. Adhere to the allowed business activities only and be careful about the duration of your stay. Report any changes in your business activities or employment status to immigration authorities immediately. Following these conditions is imperative and going off-track is illegal.
Note: This visa allows short-term business activities only and prohibits local employment or setting up a business.
