UK Business Visa & Invitation Letters — Getting the Logistics Right

The Business Visa Basics

For business visitors needing a UK visa (Mainland Chinese passport holders and others — note HK/Taiwan/Singapore/Malaysia passports are visa-free and use the ETA instead), the Standard Visitor Visa covers business activities: attending meetings, conferences, trade fairs, negotiations, and site visits. It does NOT permit working or being paid by a UK source. The application is online via gov.uk, with a VFS biometrics appointment; allow 3-4 weeks. Key supporting documents include a business invitation letter from the UK company you're visiting (stating the purpose, dates and who covers costs), proof of employment and funds, and a clear travel itinerary with accommodation and transport arrangements. A well-documented, clear application with a defined itinerary is far more likely to succeed — vague plans raise questions.

How We Support Your Application

While we're NOT visa agents (engage a proper visa service for the application itself), we support a strong application on the ground-arrangements side: a written confirmation of your UK touring/transport arrangements (showing your itinerary is real and organised), a clear day-by-day plan of your business movements, and confirmed transport for the trip — all of which help demonstrate a genuine, well-planned visit to the visa officer. For business delegations, our confirmed ground-handling arrangement supports the itinerary portion of the application. The sequence matters: sort the visa first (get the invitation letter, apply early, allow 3-4 weeks minimum), then confirm flights and our transport. Get in touch early and we'll provide the transport confirmation you need for the application, then handle the ground when you arrive. 支付宝、微信、WhatsApp預約。
