The visa is valid for five years and allows visitors multiple entries, with a maximum stay of 60 days per entry. Holders can participate in various activities such as meetings, conventions, or tourism-related adventures. They can also visit friends and relatives.

The directorate has clarified that the visa is only for tourism and business purposes, and anyone who wants to work or stay longer should apply for another type of visa. The application for this visa can be done online, and the process takes a maximum of four working days.
