That first limitation you mentioned is not true - you do not need a visa to go for a business meeting, just as you don’t need a visa to go for a meeting in any other country.

The second also isn’t true - no recertification appears to be required but could be required in the future should legislation diverge.

As well as the actions all travellers need to take, there are extra actions if you’re travelling to the EU for business.

Business travel includes activities such as travelling for meetings and conferences, providing services (even with a charity), and touring art or music.

Entry requirements The country you’re travelling to might have its own entry requirements, or ask you to have certain documents.

Check the entry requirements for the country you’re visiting.

The deal doesn’t include any mutual recognition of conformity assessment [...] meaning firms will have to pay the regulatory cost of certification twice if they wish to sell their products in both the U.K. and the bloc


You absolutely do need a visa or waiver to go to a business meeting in a country which does not have an entry agreement.

People heading to conferences in the UK have occasionally been caught by aggressive immigration officers and deported.


You need a visa to go to any other country, by default.

If you're from Western or Northern Europe, or North America, you will often be exempt for tourism, conferences and meetings for similar countries.

But I, and probably you, need a business visa for a simple meeting in Moscow.

It's up to each EU country what requirements they put on British visitors, but it looks like at least some will require visas for at least some types of business.


Really? If it wasn't for the visa waiver programme in the US for example, being from the UK wouldn't I need a visa to enter?
