Business Visitor Visa

The business immigration and global mobility team at IMD Solicitors invest the time into getting your UK business visitor visa application right, whether it is a visa for a one-off business trip or potentially the first step in your business expanding into the UK.

Get in touch to see how we can help your business.

Requirement for a business visitor visa

Not everyone requires a UK business visitor visa to visit the UK for business purposes. Our business immigration solicitors can advise on whether you require a business visitor visa to enter the UK or let you know if you fall into the category of persons where a business visitor visa is advisable to minimise the risk of you, or your overseas-based employee, being refused UK entry clearance.

Permissible business visitor visa activities

A business visitor visa permits temporary entry to the UK for business purposes, but UK immigration rules limit the business activities you can undertake in the UK on a business visitor visa to ‘permissible business activities’. Our business immigration solicitors can advise on:

  • whether planned activities fall within permissible business activities
  • the alternatives to a business visitor visa, such as the UK expansion worker visa
  • longer-term business immigration options, such as the senior or specialist worker visa if your overseas-based business wants to transfer employees to the UK
