Query regarding visitor visa Type C(Business)

[kishoremvrs]

Hi Team, One of my friend recently applied for a Business Visit Visa(Type C Visit - Multi ) and it got approved for 2 years.

Now he wants to visit UK for visiting purpose but not for Business Travel because the clients not require any assistance at this point.

Can he travel to UK for visit purpose with a Business Visit Visa(Type C) approved?

Good day!!

Thanks in advance.

Yes. UK has only one type of visit visa, namely the standard visit visa. You can do business while in the UK too

Hi Thanks for the response.

I am worried because its written on the printed visa with a type C. So would that be an issue if we use it for pure visit purpose without any business need?

No issues. Type C visas are not issued anymore but such older visit visas can be used for general travel to the UK
