B-1 · E · L

Businessprofessionals

For individual business trips and for company teams travelling together.

Most business trips fit the B-1 visitor visa. Investors, traders and staff moving to a US office need other routes. We check the purpose of your trip, prepare a company file and plan the interviews for everyone who travels.

Is this your field?

Meetings, conferences and trade fairs
Negotiating or signing contracts
Company teams travelling together
Investors, traders and employees transferring to a US office

A B-1 visa does not allow you to work for a US company or to be paid from the United States.

What to prepare

An invitation from the US company or event
A letter from your employer about the purpose of the trip and who pays for it
Proof of your role and of your company
Papers that show your ties to Türkiye
