Saudi Arabia Business Visas
October 22nd, 2009
Most Americans who travel to Saudi Arabia go there for business or religious reasons-the Saudi government doesn't issue many tourist visas, and the ones it does issue are only granted to organized tour groups following an approved itinerary.
Is there a business trip to Saudi Arabia in your future? Don't forget to apply for your Saudi Arabia visa well in advance! The US Department of State's website notes that they can take months to issue, and you need to have one ahead of time to enter the country.
Here's what you need to get a Saudi Arabia business visa:
A valid US passport
1 passport photo
An invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the company you are doing business with should be able to help)
A letter from your company, explaining who you are, what you will b
Obtaining a Russian Business Visa
October 20th, 2009
Over the past few years, Russia's economy has grown by leaps and bounds. In 2008, according to the CIA World Factbook, Russia's GDP was $2.266 trillion, the 7th highest in the world. As Russia's economy grows, business travel to Russia is increasing. This article from BCD Travel notes that in 2006, "Russian business travel volume grew to USD $13 billon — a 17 percent increase over 2005 numbers."
Unfortunately, just because business travel to Russia is becoming increasingly common, that doesn't make it easy to get a Russian business visa. Business travelers and tourists alike are caught up in a visa system that the US Department of State has called "restrictive and complicated."
If you have a business trip to Russia, here's what you need to get a Russian visa:
