What is a business visa?
A business visa is for travel abroad for business contacts, meetings, negotiations, trade fairs, seminars, training or other business activities allowed by the visa type and the destination country's laws.
A business visa generally does not permit employment or paid work in the destination country. If the planned activity counts as work, a work permit or another visa type may be required.
