Business Visa
Plain English
It's a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) for business trips: client meetings, conferences, trade fairs, or short professional missions. You can\'t use it to work as an employee in Italy.
Why it matters
If your country needs a visa for short stays, this is the standard route for typical business trips. Stays are limited to 90 days in 180.
Common confusion
It doesn\'t allow you to take a job from an Italian employer or to start providing services regularly inside Italy. For that, you need a work visa.
