Hello All,
I'll be soon traveling to S.E. Asia for 3 months. My company is paying for the trip, I'll be mostly traveling into many asian countries (China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and so on). It will be mostly tourism and in some countries I might go fo a lunch with some partners I work(ed) with (we don't have many as we just started) to talk about future plans, in the countries where I do not have biz partners I might be looking randomly if it happens (e.g. talking with people). No money is involved in the trip, just lunches or eventually visits to their offices.
Does this sound as a business visa case or a tourist visa suffices? I know that rules change from country to country, but in general, what is your opinion?
In theory the only tracks of a business trip could be:
- Trip paid by the company bank account
- Invoices for hotels in name of the company
