A UK tourist visa permits the holder to travel and stay in the United Kingdom for up to but no longer than six months, and covers people visiting the UK for both business or medical trips and those who are passing through the country en-route to another destination.
The UK Business Visitor Visa is normally the best option for temporary immigration for business individuals who wish to visit the UK for short periods of time. The visa will only be issued if the holder ensures that they will not be entering into any type of work. They will, however be permitted to attend meetings and conferences for the duration of their stay.
The Business Visitor Visa is a fast and efficient visa that permits people to visit the UK without a more formal visa, such as a work permit to be granted. There are two types of Business Visitor Visa, single entry, which permits the holder to visit the UK once, and multiple entries; this allows the person to visit the UK on several occasions during the visas life as long as it is no longer than six months at a time.
The UK Business Visitor Visa is usually valid for two years; this means that the individual does not have to re-apply for the visa when they wish to visit the UK on business.
