Student Visitor

A wide variety of other industries and purposes are covered by business visitors, if you are in one of the following categories and wish to travel to the United Kingdom as a business visitor, please contact our experienced immigration lawyers.

·    Academic visitors (academic visitors, under the immigration rules, can stay here up to 12 months, if more time is needed then that needs to be applied for from outside the United Kingdom).This includes visiting professors accompanying students programmes for study abroad
·    Doctors taking the PLAB test at one of the centres in the United Kingdom, PLAB stands for professional and linguistic assessment board.
·    Doctors and dentists attending for clinical attachments and observations respectively.
·    Film crews on location shoots only, they need to be employed or funded by an overseas company.
·    Employees from news media organizations, these organizations need to be based overseas and the employees payment must originate entirely from the overseas organization.
·    Religious workers undertaking limited preaching and pastoral work. This must be part of a wider business trip (to attend a meeting or conference, for example), they need to be based abroad and not be taking up an existing post.
·    Secondees from overseas companies.
·    Interpreters who are being brought to the UK to provide services to organizations based primarily outside the United Kingdom.
·    International companies can bring existing foreign based employees to be trained in UK work practices, to trouble shoot, train in company practices or consult, as long as this does not amount to on the job training for a permanent position in the United Kingdom.

As can be seen, business visitor positions are largely to fill as specific one off work or business need. If a wider ranging position is needed, or a longer period is needed, then other parts of the immigration framework, including the points based system, usually Tier 1 should be used. Our experienced immigration lawyers can advise on this.
