Fast path

Do this in order

Start here if you only need the order. Detailed notes are lower on this page.

  1. Step 1

    Check business purpose

    Verify the official business-visa wording and separate meetings or negotiations from work, study, and tourism.

    Tip: If trip purpose does not match documents, choose another official route.

  2. Step 2

    Check the invitation route

    Confirm who issues the invitation, which document is needed, and where the applicant verifies the consular route.

    Tip: Do not treat agency promises as a source.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the correct route

    If business purpose does not fit, route to the regular visa, e-visa, study, work, treatment, or other official check instead.

    Tip: Trip-purpose uncertainty should route to an official consular source.
