Visa Solutions for UK Business Visits

The UK is one of the most vibrant economies in the world. Its role in the global economy makes it one of the top destinations for businesspersons from across the world. In order to visit the UK for business, you need to apply for the Standard Visitor Visa. This is a 6-month visa which you can apply to up to 3 months before you travel. Y-Axis can guide you through the entire UK business visa process with our expert services.

UK Business Visa Details

The UK business visa is a one-time or longer-term visa that allows holders to stay in the UK for up to 6 months at a time. You must apply for this visa if you are visiting the UK for reasons such as:

• • You are attending a conference, meeting or training
  • You are taking part in a sports activity
  • You are looking for funding to start, are over, join or run a UK based business
  • Other business activities
  • Employees of a corporation based in another country are also allowed to engage in the following corporate or intra-corporate activities
  • Share skills and knowledge on a specific internal project with UK employees of the same corporate group, providing no work is done directly with clients, advise, consult, troubleshoot, or provide training
  • As an internal auditor for a UK branch of the same group of companies as your employer overseas, conduct regulatory or financial audits.
  • Receive training in work methods and procedures that are essential for the visitor’s employment abroad and are not available in their home country from a UK-based company or organization.

Requirements for the UK business visa

In order to apply for the visa, you must prove that you:

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