A friend of mine has this situation -
He has his Tier1 from India. He is in the process of finding a job in UK. Now his current employeer wants to send him to UK on a business trip. I assume that he would not require the business visa as he has a Tier1 visa. The question is that can he use his Tier1 visa for his company short business trip? What are the implications? He doesn't want to get a business visa as it would override the T1 visa.
What I can make out of this link below is that you have to apply for a business visa.

Any suggestions? Also any bia links that talk about this?

I am a bit confused here. If your friend has got the T-1 stamped, why does not he simply resign from the job and come to UK and start looking for a job? Why does he want to continue working with his company? The fact that he decided to apply for Tier -1 clearly demonstrates his intentions of coming to UK soon after approval so why this dithering now?hussainkothari wrote:So what does he do?
I don't know, doesn't sound right. The scenario here is the OP's friend is working in India and his employer wants to send him to UK for a business trip. I would think that only a business visa would work for this scenario.mpunaskar wrote:Why not? Isn't that one of the purpose of issuing Tier 1 visa?One should not use the T1 visa for travelling for business purpose.
Looks like purpose of your friends travel to UK is part of his work duties.(IMO) That should be perfectly alright.
