business visa

Commercial travel document

A business visa is a travel document permitting entry to a foreign country for work-related purposes—attending meetings, conferences, or negotiations, but typically not long-term employment.

Business visas usually allow shorter stays than work visas and restrict the holder from taking a job with a local employer: She applied for a business visa to attend the trade fair in Shanghai.
