Title: Business Visa With Family
Post by: coolsun786 on March 22, 2015, 03:50:29 pm
Hi,

I am going for a training in Switzerland. I am planning to take my family along with me and will be staying 3-4 days more after my training?

Which Visa I should apply, Business?

Which visa my family member should apply?

Thanks,
xx

In case your stay is not going to be longer than 90 days (assuming you were not in Switzerland or any other Schengen country any time within the previous 180 days), and you do not engage in any employment or conducting business (e.g. proprietorhip), your best option is tourist visa. The same for your family.

Thanks Danisara,

But still, can I apply for business visa with my family as "dependent" travelling with me?

I do not understand why you would want to apply for business visa if you do not engage in business. Getting business visa is much much more complicated than getting tourist visa, and the chance of getting business visa is much smaller than getting tourist visa.
