BUSINESS VISIT VISA

With a business visit visa, you may participate in business meetings, negotiations, and conferences, provide short-term services such as management and consulting, and provide short-term technical services. The inviting or sponsoring Saudi company will initiate the visa application process through the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where they will receive the official invitation letter and send it to you. You will then need to submit this letter to us along with the other required documents.

An active employment status in Hungary is required for the business visit visa. This must be supported by an employer’s certificate (“munkáltatói igazolás”) or employment contract, as well as the company registration document (“cégkivonat”).
