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. Ah, I think the point you're making might be "it's possible to apply for a business visa without any of the benefits which make a business visa useful". Which is of course true, in the sense that it is possible to buy a first class rail ticket and then travel in standard class. It makes you an idiot, but we are rather used to that. (I bet you won't even believe the visa for Turkey I obtained today was delivered electronically - much like mobile boarding passes and ticketing, unpossible!) |

Sounds like another process that's change since then. -- Roland Perry |
