[krischai81]

Hi,

I will be starting my emplyment in Uk next week. My visa extension is die next october. but the earnings provided by my employer is not sufficient,. i will have a shortage of atleast 3000 pounds. Can i work part time to make up these earning by working at weekends? is there any violation of law that i cannot work part time while fully employed?

pLz help me. its urgent.

Yes. All sources of income must be verifiable and declared to HMRC.

I agree but will i be questioned like how i can work part time when i am fully employed with company A. Is it ok to have 2 parallel earnings? Because i need to pay tax for both these earnings.

It is your choice how many part-time jobs you can do - 1, 2, 5 ... 10!

It's fine to do that for an unlimited number of jobs. I imagine this is one of the contributory reasons to the closure of the Tier 1 category. You could be working as a mini-cab driver and window-cleaner (with all due respect to those activities) and so long as you garnered sufficient salary you get to settle in the UK. The scheme never did not follow through with the highly skilled aspect that was cited as the original intention for its creation.

Thanks for the info. But i need to shpw the same proofs of my part time earnings like full time earning right?

The guidance is clear on what you need and it depends on whether the work is employment or self-employment. If it's employment it will be very similar to the evidence of your main job.
