When we enter most country's we just say we are supervising and the tools are specialist tools needed for the job, | |

We used to travel everywhere on Tourist Visas/Visa on Arrivals and very very rarely had any issues, even with a case of tooling & PPE. Normally telling them you were going to a site for meetings would be good enough. We use Business Visas now though, but only due to our corporate Legal team changing and them being managed by a US head office now, who are much more 'precious' about any legal matters. I've only ever had two issues with tooling and overseas working - getting hassled over specialist instruments when I was leaving Israel, and them not letting me take them on the plane and sending them separately (by far the WORST country for paranoid Airport security I have ever dealt with, even worse than the US), and more recently, having to pay a percentage based 'tax' of the total value of specialist equipment for a permit to carry Tooling in Peru. Bear in mind I travel overseas on a monthly basis or more frequently, and have done for almost 8 years, that's pretty good going for not getting hassled. | |

So nothing too difficult then, didn't know if there'd be loads of red tape. | |
