Business Visitor Visa

The business visitor is a type of Standard Visitor visa which allows a businessperson to come to the UK as a visitor and carry out certain defined peripheral working activities, which include: attending meetings,conferences, seminars or interviews, and negotiating and signing deals and contracts.

Business visitors cannot come to the UK for longer than six months at any one time and they cannot spend more than 180 days per 12 months in the UK.

They must show that they have sufficient funds and appropriate accommodation for the visit and they must also show that they intend to return to their home country at the end of the visit.

A migrant from a non-visa national country (eg Brazil) does not need to apply for a visitor visa in order to enter the UK but when they reach the border they might have to prove that the proposed visit meets all the requirements of the rules.

There is no English language requirement.
