Tier 2 (General) , contracting

[Samy]

Hi,
Sorry if I am repeating this question, I could not find this topic.
I am in Tier 2 (General) sponsored by company-A, can I do contracting with company-B.
Company-B will pay Company-A and I will be paid salary by the company-A.
Please advice.
Cheers !
Samy

If we give you permission to stay in the UK, the only work you are allowed to do is:
- the job described in your certificate of sponsorship, working for your sponsor; and
- an extra job in the same sector and at the same level, provided that you do not work more than 20 hours per week in that job (see below); and
- voluntary work.

Additionally, you will:
- have no access to state benefits; and
- need to register with the police if this is required by paragraph 326 of the Immigration Rules: and
- not be allowed to start up or run a business.

Thanks.
I did see that.
I meet both the criteria, as I will be working in the same techincal area and technically I am working for my sponsor as I am still being paid by them.
Is there a location constraint that I have to work in my employers premises?

AIUI, Tier 2 is for (sponsored) employment in the UK.

There are so-called umbrella companies who will "hire" you and pay salary from your contract income. You could use one as your supplementary employer. Google and you'll find something.
