Work for another country office while on Skilled Worker visa

Post by cocopoporo » Wed Aug 25, 2021 5:19 pm

Hi all,

Is it possible for a Skilled visa holder to work for another office outside of the UK (e.g. Thailand) while on their visa?

Yes, I will be working for my visa sponsor within the UK, but redeployed to another country office under my visa sponsor. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

If you at redeployed to another country office, I cannot see how you can remain in the UK on a skilled worker visa

Would it be possible to do so if I work for another country office remotely (so I am physically in the UK)?

The requirement for a skilled worker visa is to work for a UK based company/office. If this is no longer a requirement and you are working for an overseas company/office, you don't need a UK sponsored visa.
