Those visitors who intend to visit the UK for a short term to carry out their business activities under the following categories may apply for a business visit visa before they arrive in the UK. It will be important that these visitors leave the UK before expiry of their visa;
Academic visitors
Visiting professors
Teachers accompanying students
Film crew
Religious workers
Representatives of overseas news media
Advisers, Consultants and Trainers
Those undertaking one-off training
It is important to note that a business visitor under this category should not receive their remuneration from a UK source unless the visitor works for a multinational company handles payment of salaries from the UK. However reasonable expenses to cover the cost of travel etc. can be made.
There is no right of appeal against the refusal of an application of a UK visitor visa. However there is nothing to be worried about as the refusal can still be challenged by way of a Judicial Review in the Upper Tribunal of the Asylum and Immigration Chamber.
An application for permission to apply for Judicial Review must be lodged in in the Upper Tribunal of the Asylum and Immigration Chamber within 90 days of the date of the refusal of the application.
A pre-action protocol is served on the Entry Clearance Officer or the Home Office before initiating a Judicial Review application. Please take a look at the Judicial Review section of this website for further information.
We have had a number of refusals of visit visa applications overturned just on the basis of serving Pre-action protocol letter and you may count on our experience in handling such matters.
