The Best Method For Obtaining A UK Visa Through Self Sponsorship in 2024
Today we will be discussing whether you can work as an IT contractor or consultant whilst on the self sponsorship route. We are here to help you first understand what is the self sponsorship route. To understand what kind of jobs applicants can do on the self sponsorship route, we must first look into what is this route.
The self sponsorship route is a process through which migrants to the UK sponsor themselves as a skilled worker, through their own company. This avoids the need for the applicant to find a company to sponsor them, and also allows them to have more control over their visa.
Let’s look into can you do the work as an IT contractor or consulting jobs while on self sponsorship route? The answer is yes. On the self sponsorship route, an applicant is on a skilled worker visa. This means they must follow the rules of appendix skilled workers. Since 4th of April 2024, there are changes in immigration rule where skilled worker can now work up to 20 hours per week in another job, so long as the work is in eligible occupation code and they continue to conduct their primary employment for their sponsor. And this is called a supplementary work. So the IT contractor and consulting work fall under SOC code 2020 or code 2139, which is an eligible occupation code. This means self sponsorship applicants can carry out work as an IT contractor or cancel while on the self sponsorship route as a supplementary work.
The next one is combining IT work within the self sponsorship route. So what you can do is establish an IT consulting work, and then set up that business to provide your consultancy to your client through your own company.
In conclusion, we have covered how a potential migrant to the UK can carry out work as an IT contractor or consultant whilst on selfsponsorship route. So the first option is that they can choose to do supplementary employment as an IT consultant, while sponsoring themselves as a skilled worker through their own business, maybe in a different industry. Alternatively, you could set up an IT business and sponsor yourself as an IT contractor to consult directly to various clients of yours.
