Business visitor visa is granted to person who will perform business activities in the UK which will normally be linked to the person’s employment overseas and activities for visitors are mostly incidental to their employment. Some activities may require a visitor to do a part of their overseas role from the UK.

The Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) considering the business visit visa application will assess whether the amount of time the applicant intends to spend in the UK is credible in view of the activities the applicant is seeking to do and be satisfied that they are not coming to work or make the UK their main place of work. For business visa applications, this evidence might be included in a letter from an employer of the applicant.

What Are Permitted Activities For Business Visitor?

A business visitor can attend conferences or seminars. Whilst most will be formal speaker-led events usually lasting for a couple of days and focussed on a specific topic or sector, they can also include familiarisation programmes for people coming to learn about UK practices on law or finance for example. However, this should not amount to the person undertaking recreational study for more than 30 days or work experience. There is no restriction on the duration of a conference, but it would be reasonable to expect the activity to last no more than a couple of weeks. Where a conference is longer, the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) may check that it does not amount to work.

Coming to the UK for general discussions to secure funding for a project is permitted under the Visitor rules. However, since 1 December 2020 it is not possible for visitors undertaking these activities to switch into the Start-up and Innovator routes in line
with the wider switching principles of the points-based immigration system.
