UK tier 1 Self Employement

krishna1215 wrote:Hi,
I recently got my UK tier 1 visa. Its said that a Tier 1 guy can be self employed, provided he maintains his earnings all through the 3 years period before extension being granted.

When I applied I got points for earnings for the range between 30,000-35000. My understnding is that the next 3 yrs I should always maintain this range. Isnt it? You have to consider your points carefully for extension. You may not received the same points for your age(if you received any initially) which will bring down your total points. As per the current rules, HO is asking for 12 months of salary in the past 15 month before your visa expire(same as initial earnings creteria. But this may/may not change in future.

What all categories come under self employment. Can I work in IT as a full time employee as well look after a small business like a fast food centre. Can spouse manage that. Yes you can do full time employments, business etc etc.

Are they any guys who can share thoughts about these and steps to follow. Please share your experiences. If there are any genunie and reliable consultants regarding self employement who can guide, I dont mind approaching them.
