I live in the US and looking to come to the UK. I've been offered one week's unpaid work experience this year for a music magazine, and I was wondering if I'll need a visa and if so, what kind.
Thanks!
You don’t need a visa if you’re coming to the UK for activities allowed under the following visas:
- a business or academic visitor - eg if you’re coming to the UK for conferences, meetings, training or
academic research
-a sports visitor
-
an entertainer
-a prospective entrepreneur
-a visitor doing a ‘permitted paid engagement’ (you must have been invited to the UK because of your expertise) - you can only stay for up to 1 month

If, highlighted in bold applies to you - then you DO NOT need a visa.
Needless to say, ignore the irrelevant response in this thread.
