UK/EU Business Trips & Secondments - The Rules Explored

Introduction

The rules governing business visits to the UK by overseas nationals remain difficult to navigate and it is up to HR teams and legal professionals to ensure that those making visits to the UK are undertaking permitted activities as set out in the immigration rules.

Similarly, companies sending British nationals for work visits to Europe also need to be aware of the rules governing how long they can stay for and what they can do whilst UK staff are travelling to Europe as part of their work.
