The business visitor category permits individuals to attend meetings, negotiate business deals and undertake fact-finding missions together with other specific permissible activities within the UK.
It is important that an individual under this category does not engage in any work activities outside those permitted and that they are not residing here for prolonged periods as this could result in their visa being revoked and them being removed from the UK.
If an individual will be working in the UK outside of the activities permitted, you must ensure that your company applies for the appropriate visa, either under the Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 5 categories.
