FAQ

How long does a tourist visa allow?
The UK High Commission describes a single-entry visitor/tourist permit of 44 days from issue and multiple entry for travel within 180 days from issue. The specific stay on your visa controls; apply for an extension at the Immigration Department before expiry if needed.

No. Tourist entry prohibits business activities and labour-market entry. Use the business, expatriate, or tertiary-educator route if eligible.
