Business Visa

Open a Company, Get the Visa With It

A business visa is not a separate piece of paper from company formation — the visa follows the entity. We register the company, obtain the trade licence, open the corporate account and then file the business owner, investor or self-employment visa the destination actually recognises, with family residence prepared on the same application.

A written concept — what you will sell, to whom, and how the activity makes money.

Capital Proof

Bank statements and a source-of-funds trail for the capital your chosen route requires.

Sponsor or Trade Licence

A host company invitation, or the newly issued licence, depending on the destination.

Attested Documents

Degree, police certificate and marriage certificate attested and translated where required.

Tax & Compliance Plan

Registration, VAT or a tax seat and the ongoing compliance for the entity you register.

Application Process

How we get you through it

A transparent, step-by-step process with a dedicated case officer from first call to decision.

01

FAQs

Questions, answered

Not always. The German self-employment and freelance permits are built on your professional qualification and client base rather than a registered company. Investor and Golden Visa routes do require an entity — we tell you which side of that line your case falls on in the first call.

Visit Visa

Travel, Visit & Return Without Stress

A visit visa is refused for paperwork reasons far more often than for eligibility. We check the exact consulate rules for your nationality and purpose of travel, prepare the invitation, insurance and financial evidence in the format that specific mission expects, and file it with the authority that actually has jurisdiction over you.

Application Process

How we get you through it

A transparent, step-by-step process with a dedicated case officer from first call to decision.

We confirm whether you need a tourist, business-visit, family, medical or eVisa category — and which consulate has jurisdiction over your passport.

02

An online eVisa application, or a biometric appointment at the correct consulate or visa centre for your jurisdiction.

FAQs

Questions, answered

A visit visa lets you attend meetings, negotiate and sign on behalf of an existing employer abroad — it cannot be used to start trading or take local employment. A business visa is built around an entity or a business plan: you form a company, invest, or go self-employed. Choosing the wrong category is the most common reason a business traveller is stopped at the border.

Why Shozani

One desk for the whole visa file

Most visa refusals are file failures, not applicant failures. We build the file the mission can approve, and we keep it moving.

One Desk, Not Five

Visa, company formation, attestation, banking and tax handled by the same case officer — no vendor ping-pong.

Documents That Survive Scrutiny

Files are built to the consulate's own checklist, pre-checked before filing to avoid the 15-day refund cycle.

Real Timelines

We quote the destination's actual processing window per stage, and we tell you when a deadline is a problem.

FAQs

Visa questions, answered

Start from the purpose, not the country. Working for an employer is a work visa. Trading, investing or going self-employed is a business visa. Tourism, meetings and family are a visit visa. Studying needs a study visa. If the purpose will change — a meeting becoming a contract, a visit becoming a move — tell us upfront so we file the category that can grow.

Not sure which visa you actually need?

A 20-minute call, an honest eligibility view and a written route plan with a fixed quotation within two working days. No empty guarantees.
