British Virgin Islands
Answer ... There are no visas designed specifically for business visitors. However, depending on the frequency and length of stay, a number of visas could be relevant. For a typical short business trip, the most appropriate visa is likely to be an emergency work permit – that is, a permit issued to someone on a single occasion to undertake emergency work for an employer for a period not exceeding seven days.
A visa exemption programme was introduced on 1 September 2016 which permits nationals of a country that would otherwise require a visa to be exempt from this requirement if they have a visa from the United Kingdom, the United States or Canada. This programme allows such persons to enter the BVI for business, tourism work or other related matters for up to six months.

Answer ... This depends on the kind of permit that the business visitor obtains. For a continued stay (as opposed to many short trips within a one-year timeframe, as allowed under a periodic work permit) the longest period for which a business visitor could work is six months under the exemption referred to in question 2.1. Otherwise, it is three months under a temporary work permit.
