Business Visa.
Travel with confidence.

Standard processing for a UK Standard Visitor Visa takes 3 weeks (15 working days). Priority services are available at additional cost — typically 5 working days. We recommend applying at least 4–6 weeks before your travel date.

No. The B-1 visa permits business activities such as meetings, negotiations, conferences, and short-term training, but does not permit employment or receiving a US salary. For work purposes, a separate work visa (such as H-1B or L-1) is required.

You should apply at the consulate of the country that is your main destination, or the first country you enter if all visits are equal. Our counsellors will advise you on the best embassy to apply through based on your itinerary.

Travel insurance is mandatory for Schengen visas (minimum €30,000 cover). For UK, USA and Canada business visas it is not mandatory but strongly recommended — and a valid insurance policy can strengthen your application.

A formal invitation letter from your host company or conference organiser is required for most business visas and significantly strengthens your application. We help you ensure the letter contains all the information embassies require.
