Before sharing comprehensive details concerning your Business Schengen Visa application process, it is important to point out that this Visa type enables you to spend up to 90 days over a 180-day period period in the Schengen Area (and get a short-stay Schengen Visa). Therefore, a Schengen Business Visa does not suit you if you’re willing to relocate and start a business in Europe (because a Business Visa does not give you the right to work in the Schengen Area in the long term).
If you need to spend more than 90 days over a 180-day period in the Schengen Area and get an EU visa valid for work purposes, you should apply for a type-D National Visa. Thus, the difference between Schengen Visa types lies in the duration of stay (type-C Schengen Visas enable non-EU nationals to spend up to 90 days in the Schengen Territory while type-D national Visas enable them to spend more than 90 days in Europe).
A Business Schengen Visa is suitable for you if you’re travelling to the Schengen Area for one of the following purposes (whether you are employed or self-employed):
- Business meetings.
- Exhibitions or trade fairs.
- Business instruction or technical courses.
- Courses organized by a Schengen company for its employees working abroad.
- Scientific or economic events, international conferences, seminars, or symposiums.
Some Schengen Embassies and Consulates may also issue a Business Visa for applicants participating in cultural, sport, or religious events. As far as the Schengen Visa policy is concerned, there is no difference between a Tourist and a Business Schengen Visa (meaning that both of them allow you to spend up to 90 days in the Schengen Area).
The only difference is that the Embassy officers will write “tourism” or “business” on your Schengen Visa sticker as your trip’s primary purpose. Even though you are travelling for business purposes, you can spend a few days more in the Schengen Area to visit the best tourist attractions and experience the local culture and cuisine. However, in this case, you must provide a day-to-day travel itinerary indicating the places and tourist attractions you plan on visiting.
