FAQ: C3 visa for a director

Didn't find your answer? Ask in person.

How is the C5 different from the C3?

The C5 relates to the business activity of a business immigrant, while the C3 relates to the work of a foreign employee or executive. The right category is defined by the actual purpose.

Does a foreign director always need a work permit?

No, the law provides for separate cases and exemptions. The answer depends on the participation structure, the position, the employer and the status of the foreign national.

How long does it take?

The timing depends on the service, the country of filing, how ready the documents are and the state review. We prepare the standard package for a C3 or a C5 within 5 working days of receiving the full set of documents.

Are state fees included in the price?

Unless the offer or the contract states otherwise, state fees, translations, notary services, legalisation and third party costs are paid separately.
