"However, they may not engage in business or provide services as a professional
sportsperson, and they may only engage in work for a maximum period of 12
months in total throughout their stay. They may choose when to work and when
to take their holiday breaks as they wish, but those who exceed the maximum 12
month period of work permitted will be in breach of their conditions
(The restriction on engaging in business does not rule out all self-employed
activity where the latter is clearly temporary in nature, but any activity which
involves commitments such as investment in premises, expensive equipment
or the employment of staff is to be regarded as activity for which a person
would be required to qualify under the Rules relating to business.)"


This statement doesnt completely rule out that working holiday makers cannot get Involved into part time self employments?

one more question If i go back to my country on leave and apply to switch to tier 1 after completing 12 months can I still be employed by my company ,stay on unpaid leave untill I get the result of my application?

Thanks
