As the title reads, is there any rule prohibiting self-employment for tier 2 general visa holders? especially with new rules in force now?

thanks

If you think abnout it carefully, self-employment on a Tier 2 visa doesn't make any sense at all.

Simply, no you cannot be self employed on an employer sponsored visa.

You can work for 20 hours a week extra for a different employer as long as the work is of the same grade and technical level as the work you have been mainly employed to do by your primary employer.

So it's not all bad
