Returning to UK on the same Business visitor visa

I was granted a 6 months business visitor visa to go to the UK last November and finalize my job interview process with a prospect employer located in London (they covered all the trip expenses). Unfortunately the interview did not go well and I returned back to my home country Tunisia 2 days after my arrival, which is the stay duration I declared in my application .

I'm currently thinking of restarting an online job search in the UK and eventually schedule a few more interviews onsite, but I'm wondering if I can reuse the same business visa for the matter, given it's a C-VISIT-BUSINESS visa, multiple entry, and it expires in April 2015, and if that's possible am-I allowed to stay for, let's say 1 month period of time, and seek job sponsors from there.

Note that in my application I did not mention any intention of eventually returning back to look for a job with other employers. I just gave details about the company that sponsored my trip, and assumed things will just go well with them.

PS: I'm aware I'm not allowed to work with my business visa, I just intend to use it to attend job interviews onsite.

Also in case this could be of any meaning, a border officer stamped on my visa when I arrived to the UK.

Thanks in advance!

Best Answer

attending a pre-arranged meeting or interview, a conference or a trade fair (but not selling products or services)

Is what exactly you did the first time and is permitted as per detailed rules here

to attend meetings, conferences and interviews, provided they were arranged before arrival in the UK and, if the applicant is a board-level director attending board meetings in the UK, provided they are not employed by a UK company (although they may be paid a fee for attending the meeting);

The very reason it felt unlikely to be acceptable to me was because immigration rarely permits someone who is just looking for a job, so my recommendation would be that you make another appointment and then arrive in the UK with an invitation letter, rather than travelling to UK without one.
