The business visitor category is part of the Visitors Visa rules. It is for people who specifically want to come to the UK to do business for a short time. The category not only includes academic visitors, visiting professors, overseas news media representatives; but also people such as film crews on location.
The activities you can undertake whilst in the UK on a visitors visa are defined by UK Visas and Immigration. The activities listed by UK Visas and Immigration are always subject to change.
Activities include attending meetings or conferences, arranging deals, signing trade agreements or contracts, attending site visits or tour groups; or even attending a one-off conference, etc.
In addition to meeting these rules, you will need to demonstrate that you meet the rules for a general visitor. You must also demonstrate that you can maintain and accommodate yourself without claiming any benefits; and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your stay.
This visitor visa category is for people who wish to come to the UK initially to arrange their business affairs.
We can advise you on whether you are likely to qualify for this type of visa and assist you in the preparation of your application and guide your throughout the process.
If you your application has unsuccessful we may be able to advise you on your possible next steps.
