A business visa is a type of travel document that permits foreign nationals to enter a country to conduct business activities. It is distinct from a tourist or work visa. It is typically granted for a specific duration, allowing individuals to engage in various business-related activities, such as attending meetings, negotiating contracts, exploring investment opportunities, and conducting market research.
Business visas often require applicants to demonstrate their ties to their home country, the nature of their business activities, and their financial capability to support their stay. Business visas facilitate cross-border business interactions, promote economic growth, and foster international partnerships and investments.
