Hello Everyone,
I am currently on a Skilled Worker dependent visa in the UK. I work full-time and I am also a volunteer non-executive director for a non-profit/community interest company (CIC). I'm listed on companies house as a director. I don't earn a penny out of it. Not even expenses. I do this purely for community interest. I spend about 10 hours a month on meetings and other eyes-on, hands-off activities.
Recently, I got an offer for a job with sponsorship for a skilled worker visa. I thought I'll give my wife a break and take up the sponsored job. I'm aware that any additional work is restricted to 20 hours under skilled worker visa and it should either be in the same employment code or in a shortage occupation.
My question is would my non-exec role in a non-profit violate this criteria? In other words, if I take up the sponsored job, will I have to resign from my directorship?
Thank you in advance.
