Question about T1E extension holders

Post by rayleo1990 » Wed Jul 24, 2019 5:55 pm

Hi Guys,
Can you please let me know, if as a self employed/Director of company it is permitted to deliver goods for amazon? Please highlight, I have seen on this forum old posts where marcnath had suggested it can be done as a T1E holder?

What is the nature/industry of your business you are running?

How would you be paid as a delivery driver for Amazon?

You also asked this exact question in September last year and received a reply from Marcnath about it violating your visa conditions. Nothing has changed in the rules to allow you to contract in this manner.

I haven't started anything yet. but nature of my business is Logistics support and business management. I had an offer from recruitment agency, and they wanted to sign up as an independent contractor for deliveries with amazon. Payments are made by amazon to our business, if signed up. I know i've asked this before, but i was not sure as its bit complicated. so didn't wanna chance it.
My second business is IT support & electronic instruments which are being sold on my website as well as third party ebay/amazon. its fairly new, but started to pickup over last 6 months.

Thanks a lot for your kind response.

Not permitted on your visa and you will be in breach of your visa conditions.

Cab driving, delivery, gig economy style jobs or even most IT contracting is not allowed under the Tier 1E visa even if done via your business. These are considered contract of service work which is explicitly prohibited by the rules. These companies will contact UKVI to check your right to work and UKVI in turn may curtail your leave for breach of the conditions. I suggest to stay well away from them and stick to your own business
