Hi xtong- I run an ecommerce startup employing 4 people in the UK. And I also have a strategy consulting business, which I run on the side. Did your friend explain why they would be doing so ? Any particular reason ? About IR35 - IR35 is an age old issue introduced in early 2000s by HMRC which has ...

Hi guys, I am just providing the information here. What I found from my experience and my friend's experience is that some immigration lawyers just encouraged us to apply for this visa without fulling explaining to us the cons. Yes, it seems that we can work as contractors, but we need to seriously ...

hi, I have hired through hays and alexander mann.. and they have signed contract with limited companies of t1 visa holders.. can you name a contact there ? there is no legal issue here.. as they are signing the contract with another limited company, not the visa holder directly in anyway, just that ...

Hi guys, Some people in this forum have mentioned that people with entrepreneur visa can work as contractors. There were referring to doing this through their own company rather than a contacting agency. It's completely obvious that working for an outside agency is not acceptable. The fact is that ...

Hi guys, Many clients won't sign a contract directly with your limited company. They would usually sign a contract with a recruitment agency. Then the agency will sign another contract with your company. Yet, my friend who is working for HAYS, one of the biggest recruitment agencies here in London ...

Hi guys, Some people in this forum have mentioned that people with entrepreneur visa can work as contractors.

This is crazy .... by Law your previous status is valid and you are legally allowed to work till your Tier 1 application is decided. didn't you received the acknowledgement letter yet ? you can show that to your employer. also this is a service which your employer can use to check your status that ...

Hi xtong, Have you received the Acknowledgment letter yet? basically that what you need to show to your employer that your application is under process with ukba and your last leave to remain was PSW etc and you are entitled to work under the category of expired visa until you received the decision ...

Applied on 10/12, haven't received bio letter.

My visa expired on 30/12. Without a valid visa, no one is willing to give me work. Really frustrated. Not sure how long I can endure.

I submitted my Entrepreneur visa application on Dec 10 and received the acknowledgement letter on 17th. However, I have not received the bio invitation.

I want to chase UKBA but can't find their email address. Can someone help me?

Cheers,

Xin

you are allowed to work after submitting your visa application under the rules of your current visa (PSW)

Thanks. Do you know where I can find the related policy? I need to show my employer that I am eligible to work after my visa expires.

Thanks.

My current PSW visa will expire on Dec 30th this year? I am going to submit an entrepreneur visa application in mid December.

I wonder if I can still work after my visa expires, given that I have submitted new visa application.

Could someone offer me some answers?

You can work there as a contractor either by registering as self employed or a limited company :) Has anyone considered being caught by IR35 when working as a contractor on Entrepreneur visa? If we are caught, we would be seen as employee under the disguise of limited company. Will that hurt our ...

What will happen if I get caught by IR35 working with Entrepreneur visa?
