Digital Nomads & Remote Working

The UK Business Visitor Visa forms part of the Standard Visitor visa route and allows overseas nationals to travel to the UK for specific permitted business activities without taking up employment or entering the UK labour market. It is commonly used by employees of overseas companies attending meetings, negotiations, conferences, training sessions, or site visits, as well as entrepreneurs exploring business opportunities in the UK.

At Hudson McKenzie, we advise on eligibility, permitted activities, and application preparation to help ensure compliance with the Immigration Rules and minimise the risk of refusal.

Keeping abreast of evolving laws and regulations in a time where employees can be located throughout the globe can be a challenge with Employers.  Workforce management and onboarding processes must be approached with due diligence to minimise any risk and liability to the business.  Technology is greatly advanced to assist with some of the processes, but we believe that a human touch and expertise knowledge is key to ensure that your business remains compliant.

The Skilled Worker visa (previously known as the Tier 2 (General) visa) is a visa sponsored by the employer.  It is designed to enable skilled workers to come to the UK with a local job offer to work in the UK and fill a gap in the UK labour market.
