I'm intimately familiar with Russian visas, and there they do have a separate visa for business as opposed to tourism. That's mainly a mechanism for charging more for the benefits of a business visa - not, surprisingly the right to do business in particular (you don't even have to show you intend to to get one, you just buy your invitation from a different place), but rather the more expensive business visa gives you multiple entries over a year, rather than the tourist visa which is issued for the exact number of days of your planned trip. Just to show Usenet is living up to its reputation of provoking counter-examples, I've got a Russian visa for what they classified as a business trip, valid for one entry/exit during a 30 day window. Perhaps you could name the decade? My information being up to date as of approximately 8 weeks ago. (Having a girlfriend with a Russian passport tends to keep you keenly aware of such things.) You may or may not be aware, but regimes change - in particular, with Russia the principle of reciprocity means they follow whichever fad the UK does. That means that, for example, when the UK decided to demand fingerprints, Russia immediately decided the same - decidedly inconvenient as it meant UK citizens overseas had to fly to London to apply for a visa because they didn't have the fingerprint equipment anywhere else. (This at least has been relaxed recently - my last visa I was able to obtain in Buc without needing prints.) Similarly I have one-visit dated business visas for Egypt. It's completely mystical what that is meant to be similar or relevant to. |
