Business Visa

As the world opens up to more business between countries, a golden opportunity has emerged for entrepreneurs. Business Visas help facilitate trade and business between different countries. These are typically short-stay visas and allow visa holders to conduct business in the countries they visit.

These visas are valid only for a certain amount of time and allow visa holders to conduct business in the countries they visit. A business visa is a type of travel authorization that allows an individual to visit a foreign nation for the purpose of conducting business.

During the visit, they may engage in business activities that do not constitute work or employment.

It does not allow holders to work full-time in the country where the visa was issued.

Y-Axis can help evaluate your options and apply for a suitable visa which gives you the greatest opportunity to conduct your business abroad.
