Tourist vs Business Visa – Know the Difference

Not all visas are the same. Here's what each allows, what documents you need, and how to choose the best one for your visit.

1. What’s a Tourist Visa?

This visa is meant for holidays, family visits, or non-work events like weddings. It does not permit business-related activities such as meetings or contract negotiations.

2. What’s a Business Visa?

Use this if you're attending a conference, holding a business meeting, or exploring investment opportunities. It’s still a short stay, but it allows formal business interaction.
