Training on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa

Post by dalaremal » Sun Mar 01, 2015 11:14 am

Hi
Currently I am on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa. I have started process for registration as a pharmacist. As part of the process, we need to do a full time one year long paid Pre registration training. I am just wondering whether I will be able to complete that training while I am on tier 1 Entrepreneur visa or do I need to change it to Tier2? Please!

You are not permitted to work other than or your own business on the tier 1 entrepreneur visa. The pre-reg training involves working for an employer so this won't be permitted.

Thanks for your comments.
What if I work as a contractor on behalf of my company for the pharmacy where I will be carrying out my pre reg training? Please!

"Genuine Entrepreneur Activity (contract of service with another business)
A41. If you are granted leave to enter or remain as Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant, your leave will
prohibit you from engaging in employment except where you are working for the business which
you have established, joined or taken over. You will comply with this restriction if, for example, you
are employed as the director of the business in which you have invested, or if you are working in a
genuinely self-employed capacity. In this capacity you will have a contact for service.
You may not, however, be considered to be working for your own business if the work you
undertake amounts to no more than employment by another business
(for example, where
your work amounts to no more than the filling of a position or vacancy with, or the hire of your
labour to, that business, including where it is undertaken through engagement with a recruitment
or employment agency). In this capacity you would have a contact of service. This applies even if
it is claimed that such work is undertaken on a self-employed basis.
In considering whether your work amounts to genuine self-employment (and is therefore work for
the business which you have established, joined or taken over) or is in fact employment
by another business, we will take into consideration the factors set out at:


http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/employment-status/index.htm#1.
If your work amounts to no more than employment by another business, we may consider you to
be working in breach of your conditions of stay, and that you are therefore liable to curtailment of
your stay and/or removal from the United Kingdom."
