The first step in the consultation process is to find out whether the applicant is eligible to apply for a business visa. The consultants determine eligibility taking into account the intended activities of the client as well as the characteristics of the visit and past immigration history of the client to determine what best fits as a possible visa type. If it becomes clearer to the applicant whether they require a short-term or long-term business visa, a specific activity (investment or entrepreneurship) related visa, or even a special visa based on qualifications or business background, they may be able to assist the applicant in clearing these details.
Business visas fall into a variety of types, all purposed for specific activities, including but not limited to those that would be:
– Short-term business visitor visa
– Investor visa
– Entrepreneur visa
– Intra-company transfer visa
– Startup visa
– Business work permits for specific industries
The consultants first help to determine which visa class is most appropriate for the client’s intended business activity and will then guide the client through the process of gathering documentation. This includes documentation such as proof of business ownership; invitation letters from foreign companies; evidence of available funds; or legal contracts.
The visa refusal might happen an unfortunate case, and hence, business visa consultants can assist their clients in understanding why their visa application was turned down, suggesting ways of addressing the issues in the new application, or appeal. And they may help strengthen the application to give it a better chance at success in the following attempts.
If one gets already a business visa, an extension, and renewal would be done with the help of the consultant if the business activities or the client stay abroad to be extended. In this instance, this could involve proving ongoing business activities or presenting new documents.
