Business
Visitor Visa

Employees of companies based outside the UK or self-employed individuals who run their own businesses outside the UK will need to apply for a Business Visa in order to travel to the UK to conduct business on behalf of their employers or their businesses. This visa allows the holder to undertake any activities defined as “permitted activities” under the UK’s immigration rules.

To succeed with a Business Visitor Visa application you must:

• Continue to receive your salary / remuneration in South Africa while you are in the UK
• Not intend to live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits
• Not intend to charge the UK public for services provided or goods received
