GUIA SOBRE VISADOS EN EE. UU. PARA EMPRESAS ESPAÑOLAS
Debido al gran interés mostrado por las empresas españolas en conocer la normativa estadounidense sobre visados, la Oficina Económica y Comercial de Washington ha elaborado una Nota Informativa sobre los Visados de mayor interés para las empresas españolas con presencia en EE. UU.
En esta guía se analizan, en primer lugar, los distintos tipos de visados de negocios temporales, de trabajo temporal y los de carácter de residente permanente, que puedan ser de interés para las empresas que contratan o transfieren empleados españoles a EE. UU. A continuación, se explica en qué consiste el Programa de exención de visados, los visados temporales (de no inmigrante), y los de tipo permanente (de inmigrante), y por último, se concluye con un apartado dedicado a las recomendaciones para tramitar un visado.
Invitamos a aquellas empresas interesadas en obtener dicho informe a que se pongan en contacto con Itziar Moyano en el siguiente correo electrónico: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
