The UK Business Visitor Visa falls under the Standard Visitor route and allows overseas business persons to visit the UK temporarily for permitted business activities such as meetings, conferences, negotiations, training and site visits.
Business Visitor Visa applications are assessed carefully by the Home Office. Applicants must demonstrate that the visit is genuine, temporary and fully compliant with UK visitor immigration rules.
