All countries have visa waiver for certain nationals, but it is only for touristic purpose. People use this scheme for attending scientific meetings (isn't it some kind of business trip?).
Anyway, academic visits, in which the guest is paid, is definitely a business trip. For example, when an academic organize a paid two-week course in the host university, or when visiting for a join project in which he is paid.
For example, a German academic traveling to the United States for two weeks for working on a NSF-funded project in which he is paid.
Is it theoretically illegal to travel without Business Visa for such academic visits?
If yes, how often it happens in practice?
