For instance, you can visit your clients, you can attend a meeting, a conference or an event. You can study for short term as long as it is not the main reason that you come to the UK. If you are in the UK with any type of Visitor Visa, you cannot claim a civil partnership or marry. You cannot live in the UK for long periods of times although you are granted a long term visitor visa. You should keep in mind that you can be asked questions regarding your financials and purpose of visit at the border by the police officers and they can refuse you at the border despite your visa.
