Frequently asked questions
Can I work abroad on a business visa?
No. A business visa covers short trips for business purposes only. To take up paid employment you need a work visa .
Is an invitation compulsory?
Usually yes. In some cases official confirmation that you are registered for a fair or event will also be accepted.
I have no company, I am a sole trader — what then?
That is fine. In that case we use your registration documents and letters evidencing your business relationships.
Can I get a multiple-entry visa?
In some countries, yes, usually where there is a history of previous trips. The consulate decides — it cannot be guaranteed in advance.
