applied for a m visa to trade show, got l type

Question

Hello,I am going to a trade show as a speaker and applied for a M... I got it today and got a L double entry... Is this a problem? Why didn't they issue an M? I leave in 5 days... I have the invitation letter with me... should I declare at the boarder that I am there for business with the invitation letter or should I say I am a tourist?

Dear, it won’t be a problem. You can use the double-entry L type to attend the trade show. It’s a usual case. In most cases, the consular officers will issue the relevant type to the applicants according to their travel purpose. Maybe they think a tourist L type can cover your trip. It’s not necessary for you to tell the boarder that you go there for business purpose. You can just say that you are a tourist and then you can attend the trade show.
