How to decide between a visit visa and a work visa
Before you choose a destination, it helps to be clear about the purpose of your trip, because this determines the visa category you should apply for. If you intend to holiday, sightsee, visit friends or family, or attend a short business event or conference, a visit visa is almost always the right choice. Visit visas are generally quicker to process and less expensive, and they let you enjoy your destination without the paperwork associated with employment.
If, however, you have secured a job offer, are being transferred by your employer, or plan to undertake paid work of any kind, you will need a work visa. Work visas involve additional documentation such as employment contracts and sponsorship, and understandably take longer to assess. VisaPort supports both pathways for every country listed above, and each destination guide spells out the specific requirements so there are no surprises.
Understanding fees and processing times
The figures shown beside each country are indicative government and service fees, displayed in the local currency for clarity, together with a realistic processing estimate. Processing times can range from just a few business days for streamlined destinations to several weeks for countries with more rigorous review procedures. We recommend starting your application well in advance of your intended travel date — a good rule of thumb is to begin at least four to six weeks before departure for a visit visa, and considerably earlier for a work visa. Because VisaPort saves your progress automatically, you can begin gathering documents now and complete the submission whenever you are ready.
