Frequently asked questions
Who is the Business Exploration Trip for?
The trip is designed for non-EU entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals and business owners who are seriously considering starting a business, relocating, or establishing a presence in Slovakia. It is not a tourism package.
Do I need to already have a business?
No. We welcome applicants who are still in the planning or research phase, as well as those who already own a business and are exploring expansion or relocation.
Can Xpoint help with visa or invitation documents?
Where applicable, Xpoint may assist with preparation of invitation letters and supporting documentation for visa applications. Whether such documents are accepted, and whether a visa is issued, is entirely at the discretion of the relevant embassy or consulate.
Does applying guarantee a visa?
No. Applying for the trip does not guarantee a visa, Schengen entry, residence approval or any immigration outcome. Each visa application is assessed independently by the relevant authority.
How long is the trip?
Trip duration is agreed individually based on your objectives. Most visits are 2–5 days. We'll discuss the recommended duration as part of your preparation.

Accommodation is not automatically included for every applicant. If you would like us to help arrange it, please indicate this in your application.

What happens after I apply?
We review your application individually. If your profile is suitable, we'll contact you with available trip dates, pricing, preparation steps and next steps.
Can Xpoint help me start the business after the trip?
