- Who needs a visa: Understand how the rules may vary for different types of business tripper (for example: Visa vs Non-Visa nationals and Contractors vs Employees).
- Business Visits vs Work: What counts as a ‘business trip’ and what counts as ‘work’ when it comes to visitors, and how does this definition vary between Country A and Country B.
