UK Business Visa

Overview

The UK Business Visa falls under the Standard Visitor Visa category, allowing individuals to visit the UK for business-related purposes. Recent changes have expanded the range of permissible activities for business visitors, making it easier to engage in business activities without breaching immigration rules. Visitors can attend conferences, business meetings, negotiate deals, or conduct site visits. Starting in 2024, some activities such as specific paid engagements and remote work related to overseas employment are also included under the Standard Visitor Visa.
