Hi all,

Obviously a newbie to forum.

I have an interview in Brussels. I am coming there in a month's time. I have an appointment at VFS in UK in few days for Visa.

Now I need to know under which category in Short term Visa I should apply for. I dont want to mess up my application. Should I apply under Tourism or Business or Other?

If I apply for Business, how come I justify interview is a form of business and also I am actually attending interview for a different company to the one where I work now?

Is there a restriction for Tourist Visa?

Please give a clear advice.

Thanks in advance

Saravana

Didnt the company thats interviewing you, tell what kind of visa is to be applied ?

I believe you have to apply for a C visa (short term schengen).
