Entrepreneurs visa Taxi driver self employed

Post by Hashim786 » Thu May 30, 2019 10:20 am

Hi, last year I got extension for 2 years on Entrepreneur Visa Tier-1, 200K category. Having established a grocery shop with 3 jobs, I have some spare time in the evening and thinking to apply for a private hire Taxi driver. Can you please advise that a person on extended entrepreneur visa can drive a cab as self employed?

Thanks & best regards

You cannot be a taxi/cab driver if you hold Tier 1 Ent visa. It is not permitted.

Many topics on the forum regarding this, just two of them below. A quick sure way of having your visa curtailed or ILR refused for breaching your visa conditions.

Thanks for the prompt response. Can you please advise if I develop a business partnership with a company already in Cab business so in that case I can work for my own company as director

You can be a director of a business but you cannot be a cab/taxi driver. The links I have posted states this clearly.

Why are you repeating a question that has been answered ?
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
