Supplementary Income on a Skilled Worker Visa

Aug 05, 2024

Individuals in points-based categories must adhere to UK government immigration regulations when exploring new work opportunities or starting a personal business. This is crucial for those in lower-paying positions looking to enhance their financial situation.

Before embarking on additional work or a business venture, individuals must ensure they have the necessary visas and permissions in place, whether it's a Skilled Worker visa for sponsored employment or a Global Mobility visa.

Non-compliance with immigration regulations can lead to severe consequences like deportation and future entry bans.

Seeking guidance from immigration experts or legal professionals is vital to ensure all work opportunities are compliant with the Immigration Rules.

When it comes to taking on extra work, there are rules to follow. Skilled Worker visa holders are sponsored to work in a specific role but can now also undertake ‘supplementary employment’ with the same or a different employer alongside their main role, as long as they are still working in their main sponsored role and the supplementary work is:

a type of work which could be sponsored under the Skilled Worker rules (the salary thresholds do not apply to additional work, it is just about the type of work)
outside their normal working hours and does not interfere with their main role
no more than 20 hours per week

It's crucial to review your Employment Contract before taking on additional responsibilities.

Having worked with UK Visas for more than eight years, I cannot recommend their services enough. We have worked with them on a wide variety of immigration topics, including complex licence matters (following acquisitions), day to day sponsorship processes, and reporting; and we have always received an amazing service.

Members of the team are responsive and come back to our queries quickly, they are always polite, and go out of their way to be as helpful as possible. Thank you to all of the team for the wonderful ongoing support you provide!

We have worked with UK Visas for over 10 years, since we initially requested obtaining a Sponsor Licence. From day one, their guidance, communication, professionalism, efficiency and support has been and continues to be exemplary, with no request too much.

Thank you and we look forward to continuing the relationship.
