Quick Summary
- Match visa route with real activity.
- Check sponsor and invitation needs.
- Avoid using visit visa for work activity.
Purpose comes first
Visa C1/C2 planning should begin with the real purpose of stay. Business meetings, family visits, tourism, or short project discussions can require different supporting documents.
What to check
Review passport validity, travel plan, sponsor needs, invitation letters, and whether the activity crosses into work-permit territory.
Common mistake
The biggest mistake is using a visit visa for activity that needs a different permit. Route checking before submission helps reduce future immigration risk.
