You cannot work on a visit visa, not even for charity. Friend needs to learn from his past abuse of UK visit visas.Qwerty123456789 wrote:hello guys
i have used this forum to get advise on my immigration issue in the UK and found it very useful.
my friend got refused twice this years, previously receiving 3 consecutive visitors visas from 2010
he used visitors visa to visit UK on the work trips, he is a full time camera man on salary for national channel, where he he visits UK 3 time a year up to one months at the time.
got refused on Appendiz 4.2(d)(c). without right to appeal.
can u work for oversee company, be paid oversee but ocationaly do some work in uk with provided accomodation and subsistence money or is it against visitors visa requirements?
thanks
Um, 'business visa'. Google.Qwerty123456789 wrote:ok thanks
so what type of visa does he need?
It doesn't matter!! He is coming here to do a TV report, i.e. WORK, whether getting paid in UK or not. He is not allowed to work on a standard visitor visa.Qwerty123456789 wrote:but he is not doing work for the UK based company and get paid salary not in UK
he is here for a short period of time to make a tv report and paid accomodation and travel money.
i read Appendix V4 and did not find that he breaks immigration law
