Dependent Visa - Working hours restriction??

Post by NAlanB » Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:53 pm

Hello,

I am on a spousal visa, and my wife is on a skilled worker visa. I would like to know what are the rules in the following scenarios:

1) I study full-time in University. How many hours can I work, while being on dependent visa?
1.a) What if I get flexi-time job where I end up working full-time and attending University full-time?

2) I study part-time in University. How many hours can I work, while being on dependent visa?

My university of interest has clarified that I can study there, on a dependent visa.

I am aware of the 20 hour rule for student visa, but unclear about the dependent visa. Please advice. Thanks.

There is no restriction of working hours in your visa

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.
