The Swedish business visa is issued to Kenyans who intend to travel to Sweden for business purposes.
Issued single Schengen visa applies to the entire Schengen zone member countries. For this reason, once you get a short-stay business visa, you can travel throughout the entire Schengen zone.
The business visa is also a short-stay visa and permits a stay of no longer than 90 days within 180 days.
It is necessary for business travelers to have an original passport with at least six months of validity. This passport must also have two blank pages.
If there exist previous trade relations between your company and the Swedish company, you are required to provide proof of this. This could be bills of lading, customs clearance, receipts of payment or any similar documents.
It is important to provide business references such as a letter from your employer and an invitation from the Swedish company. The letter must include:
The full address and contacts of the company.
Name and position of the countersigning officer.
Purpose and duration of the visit.
The person that will bear the travel and living costs and whether the sponsor gives financial guarantee for the visa applicants' return to Kenya.
Note that you cannot use the Swedish business visa to seek public funds in Sweden.
