Visa application itinerary

Follow these six steps to understand requirements, documents, process, fees, and what to expect when applying through Velotrav.

Visa Details Business visa overview
Business visitor visas are for short trips such as meetings, conferences, training, or contract discussions — not for taking up local employment without the correct work permission.

Embassies often ask for an invitation from the host company, your employer’s letter, and proof the visit matches your role and industry.
  • Typical use: Meetings, audits, training, conferences, contract discussions
  • Processing: Embassy-specific; often similar timelines to visitor routes
  • Important: Not a substitute for a full work permit where local employment is required
Required Documents What we help you prepare
  • Company letter: purpose of visit, dates, who you will meet, and who covers costs.
  • Host invitation: on letterhead, signed, with contact details and a realistic agenda.
  • We check that your CV, LinkedIn, and letters do not accidentally read like a job search or relocation plan.
Application Process Business visa process with Velotrav
  1. Collect host company details, meeting agenda, and your employer’s authorization letter.
  2. We align dates with your ticket holds and hotel bookings to avoid contradictions.
  3. Supporting financial evidence is checked against the length and purpose of stay.
  4. Submission routes (e-visa portal, VFS, or embassy) are confirmed before you pay official fees.
  5. If an interview is scheduled, we help you prepare concise answers on scope and duration of stay.
