Second Job on a Tier 2 Visa

Post by Bringa » Sat Jun 04, 2022 8:47 pm

Please advise.

I recently switched from a Tier 4 to Tier 2 Visa. I had a student job which I want to keep until am more settled. My new job is teaching and my student job which I want to keep as my second job is a carer with a care agency. I was wondering if I can do more than 20 hours on my (Second) care job while on my Tier 2 visa. Is this covered under the Covid-19 exceptions or will I be violating my Tier 2 visa rules.

Thanks,

Bringap

I don't believe you can do this second job as it is not the same soc as your sponsored visa job.

Tier 2 is now the Sthe killed Worker route. Your are allowed to take on additional work up to max 20 hours/week.

The additional work has to be either in the same occupation code and at the same level as your main job
(teaching) or in a shortage occupation. Carers are on the shortage occupation list

Many thanks for the response. I found this guidance on the guidance and changes due to Covid19. This is where my question is arising from.
