UNITED KINGDOM

European citizens can travel to the United Kingdom for tourism or business without a visa. However, due to Brexit, if the travel is for work purposes, a work visa is now required. There are some exceptions where work can be carried out with a visitor’s visa.

What You Should Know

✅ For business visits or tourism of less than six months, no visa is required.

✅ For work-related visits, a specific work visa must be obtained.

✅ There are exceptions for certain short-term work activities under a visitor’s visa.

How to Choose the Right Visa

The appropriate visa will depend on several key factors:

📌 The type of activity you will carry out and your level of expertise.

📌 Whether you will be hired by a UK company or traveling with a contract from your home country.

📌 The length of your intended stay in the UK.

📌 Whether you plan to enter and exit multiple times or make a single entry.

Do You Need a Work Visa?

If you plan to carry out any work-related activity, you will need to apply for a visa that includes a valid work permit.

Skilled Worker Visa: For workers with a job offer from a UK employer.

Global Talent Visa: For leaders in fields such as science, humanities, engineering, arts, and technology.
