A business visa allows individuals to travel to another country for business-related activities such as meetings, conferences, negotiations, and trade events. Each country has its own rules, but the general process remains similar worldwide.

✅ Proof of business purpose (invitation letter from a host company).
✅ Sufficient financial means to cover the trip.
✅ No history of visa violations or criminal records.
✅ Travel itinerary including accommodation and return flight.
