Business visa filing checklist
Most business travelers need more than a passport and photo. These are the areas that most often cause delays.
| Requirement area | Why it matters | Common issue | Best practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invitation letter | Confirms host identity, purpose, and business relationship. | Missing company details, dates, or signature. | Use a clear, current, purpose-specific invitation. |
| Company support letter | Shows the applicant’s employer role and reason for travel. | Letter does not match invitation or itinerary. | Keep employer and host details consistent across the file. |
| Route selection | eVisa and embassy processes have different evidence and timing logic. | Filing through the wrong channel. | Confirm route by nationality, destination, and purpose before paying. |
| Validity and entries | Business schedules may need multiple entries or longer planning windows. | Applying for the wrong entry type. | Match the visa request to the real meeting schedule. |
| Supporting travel proof | Flights, accommodation, and meeting plans help complete the case story. | Unclear or incomplete itinerary. | Prepare a simple, coherent business itinerary. |
eVisa vs embassy route
| Channel | Usually best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa | Destinations that allow online filing for your nationality. | Upload format errors, incomplete documents, and route confusion. |
| Embassy / Consular | Countries that require in-person or mission-based processing. | Appointment timing, originals, and mission-specific document rules. |
| Hybrid / pre-approval route | Cases where online pre-clearance still needs border or mission follow-up. | Assuming approval means final entry without checking conditions. |
