Visa support

0 votes
How long is the VISA support document good for from the time it is issued? Also I need to know if the business VISA support document is preferable to the tourist VISA support document.

Thanks!

The visa support document is valid for the time span that's specified on it. The other thing is that you can issue a tourist visa support not earlier than 90 days before the travel date and the business visa support can sometimes be issued earlier. A tourist visa support is valid for trips for up to 1 month, while business visa support can be valid for 12 months (staying maximum 90 out of every 180 days). For the US citizens a tourist visa support can get them a 3-year visa.
