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. To visit the UK for business, you need to apply for the Standard Visitor Visa. This is a 6-month visa, and you can apply up to 3 months before you travel. EKASO – TAKA Immigration Law Consultants Pvt Ltd 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:
Attending a conference, meeting, or training

Conduct regulatory or financial audits as an internal auditor for a UK branch of the same group of companies.
