T1 (G): remote employment at an overseas company

[Max12345]

I am on Tier 1 (General) and going to apply for ILR this summer.

I work out of the UK for a Ukrainian company. Since the company does not have an office in the UK, I am on an employment contract with their office in Ukraine (I have Ukrainian employment authorization). Although I work remotely, the salary is paid into my UK account.

Will it be enough to bring bank statement and a letter from the Ukrainian company in order to claim this income for my ILR application? Has anyone a similar experience?

I am also registered as self-employed with HMRS

It will be difficult as per the current rules you can only be out of uk for 180 days in any year so if you haven't spent any time in the uk u won't be eligible for ILR. As per the rules exceptional circumstances can be considered however, work cannot be that reason. So as per my understanding you don't qualify if you don't fulfill the criteria.

Sage: I should have been more explicit:

I live in the UK and work from within the UK, i.e. I do all work remotely and do not have to go the office. And I do meet the residency requirements.

The issue is that (1) the employment contract is for out-of-home work for a Ukrainian company, not a UK company (2) the contract is drafted as per Ukrainian regulations (i.e. payroll tax withholding for non-Ukrainian residents, etc)

Well in tht case u have to prove tht u meet earning criteria for the last year and won't be able to use uplift.
