Closed Seek single work-visa for business people who routinely work across the EU

Closed on

The UK Govt must negotiate a single work-visa that gives business professionals the ability to travel and work throughout the 27 EU States so that work visa applications are not required for each country. Our work is nearly always at short notice for assignments lasting short periods.

The UK has tens of thousands of business professionals across multitudes of industries, such as engineering, surveying, fashion, legal, advertising, manufacturing and management consulting requiring travel at short notice to any of the 27 EU countries. These professionals provide internationally respected services bringing wealth to the UK economy. Having to obtain a single visa for each country makes the UK uncompetitive, creating additional costs and business friction.
