Hi,

I got my ilr after spending 5 years on Tier 2 general visa.
Can I work for any company in uk as I am on ilr (indefinite leave to remain) now ? Please advise
or I have to work for my sponsor only (sponsor who had sponsored my tier 2 general visa before ilr, same sponsor who gave me company letter for my ilr visa ) ? can I change job ?

Hi gentlegold

You can work for anybody in the UK. You can even register and operate your own business if you like.

You are free now, congratulations

Vinny many thanks for your response. When you say I can change jobs on ilr ? does it mean free to work for any employer without immigration restrictions ? Apologises , I just wanted know this as my current employer had given me company letter for ilr purposes and I would like to switch employer, Please advise.

As repeated several times, you have NO RESTRICTION for working in the UK with an ILR. You can work as you wish, change jobs or work as self employed.
