Business Visit Visas

Business Visit VisasIf you need to visit the UK from overseas for business purposes, you will need the right type of visa. UK business visit visas will allow you to carry out certain business activities, provided you do not work for a UK company or as a self-employed person. At Halliday Reeves, we regularly prepare business visit visa applications for clients coming to the UK.

Eligibility For A UK Business Visit Visa

You need to ensure that your purpose for needing to be in the UK means that you are eligible to apply for a business visit visa. Eligible activities include:

  • Attending meetings and conferences
  • Negotiating contracts and signing deals
  • Attending trade fairs to promote your business (but not to sell products)
  • Site inspections
  • Work-related training that is not available in your home country
  • Training UK employees of the overseas company for which you work
  • Servicing or advising on equipment, to include computer software and hardware, if your overseas employer has a UK contract

Applying For A UK Business Visit Visa

When you submit your business visit visa application, you will need to provide evidence of the following:

  • You have a valid passport or travel document that will be valid for the whole of your stay
  • You intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit
  • You have sufficient funds to support yourself and any dependants who will be accompanying you
  • You have sufficient funds to pay for your return trip
  • You do not intend to live in the UK for long periods by making continued visits

We can deal with your business visit visa application in 5 easy steps!

STEP 1

We will provide you with a free consultation to understand your situation and determine your suitability. If you meet the requirements, we can then proceed.

STEP 2

We will then provide you with a personalised documents checklist, which will then enable you to gather the required supporting documentation, for your application.

STEP 3

Once you have returned the supporting documentation, we will then review them and provide you with some feedback.

STEP 4

Whilst you are working on the feedback we have provided; we will complete a first draft of your visa application and our representation letter.

STEP 5

As per our feedback, once you have provided any additional documentation, we will then send you the draft visa application to review. Once you are happy, your Visit Visa application can be submitted.

Expert level advice for business visit visa applications

It is very important that you consult an Immigration Lawyer or Solicitor when it comes to applying for any visa application.

If there is a mistake on your visa application, this usually means that your visa application will get rejected. Your visa application will also be rejected if you fail to provide certain supporting documents. It is therefore vital that you are prepared in the best way possible, to have the strongest chance of your visa being approved!

Our personal immigration lawyers have decades of experience in dealing with visa applications. We understand the Home Office process and can help you ensure that the complicated application is completed correctly and that all of the accompanying paperwork is included.

We will work proactively on your behalf to make the application without delay and we will be available to speak to you throughout the matter to keep you updated as to progress and to answer any questions you may have.

5 out of 5 on Review Solicitors

I am absolutely delighted with the outstanding support and professionalism provided by Sabiha Riaz throughout my spouse’s visa application process. Her dedication, clear communication, and proactive approach made the entire process less stressful. From the beginning, she ensured that I was well-informed and supported at every stage. Sabiha exceeded all expectations by not only meeting but surpassing all deadlines, resulting in a swift response time for both the application submission and the subsequent response. Her meticulous attention to detail, coupled with her willingness to go above and beyond, truly sets her apart. Thanks to her expertise and commitment, I received my spouse’s visa promptly. I cannot recommend Sabiha Riaz highly enough to anyone seeking immigration legal assistance.
