Hi,
I work for an ad agency in NY, USA and one of our clients in London, UK needs some work done in the UK. Do I need a visa to work in London for 12 weeks. I will be employed by my US company and paid by my US company, but working in UK.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The short-term visas are called Permitted Paid Engagement visas, but they're only valid for up to 1 month.

I can't find anything for periods between 1 month and up to 12 weeks, so I think you'll need a Standard Visitor visa; the details of which are on the UK Gov website; this link will take you there.

Hope this helps.
