Business Visit Visa — Manchester Immigration Advisers

Visiting the UK for Business

A business visit is made on a Standard Visitor visa. It covers permitted business activities such as attending meetings, conferences and interviews, negotiating and signing contracts, and carrying out site visits.

The line between permitted business activity and work is strict. IAUK advises visitors and UK companies on what is allowed and prepares applications that set the purpose of the trip out clearly.
