Business & Standard Visitor Visa Solicitors Glasgow, Scotland

Who can apply for a Business Visitor Visa?

The Standard Visitor Visa has replaced the previous business visitor visa. If you want to visit the UK for business purposes or to take part in sports or creative events, you need to apply for a Standard Visitor visa to enter the UK.

What activities you can do in the UK?

The main business-related activities you can participate in under a Standard Visitor visa are as follows:

• you are coming to the UK for a conference, meeting or training
• you want to take part in a specific sports-related event
• you are an artist, entertainer or musician and coming to the UK to perform
• you are an academic and are doing research or accompanying students on a study abroad programme (see Tier 4 Student Visa or Short Term Study Visa)
• you are a doctor or dentist and are coming to the UK to take a clinical attachment or observer post
• you want to take the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test or sit the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).

The full list of permitted business-related activities can be found in the Visitor Rules.

What are the eligibility requirements for a Business Visitor Visa?

You must always show that:

• you will leave the UK at the end of your visit
• you are able to support yourself and any dependents for the duration of your trip
• you are able to pay for your return or onward journey and any other costs relating to your visit
