Which type of visa should I apply for?
A common question travellers ask us is: “Which type of visa should I apply for?” The answer depends on why you’re travelling, how long you plan to stay, and where you’re going. Here’s a quick guide: • ✈️ Tourism or short visits: Apply for a Tourist Visa (like a Schengen short-stay visa or U.S. B2 visa). • 💼 Business meetings or conferences: Apply for a Business Visa. • 🎓 Studying overseas: Apply for a Student Visa, valid for the duration of your course. • 👷‍♂️ Working abroad: You’ll need a Work Visa or Employment Pass, depending on the country. • 🏡 Long-term stay or relocation: Apply for a Residence Visa or Family Visa. If you’re unsure which one fits your purpose, don’t worry — it’s a common confusion! ✨ At Outbound Singapore, we’ll help you identify the exact visa type that matches your travel plans and guide you step-by-step through the requirements, documents, and application timeline — saving you time and avoiding costly mistakes.
