How do I know whether I can work part-time while studying in the UK?

You can check the visa, entry stamp, immigration stamp or UK residence permit in your passport, as shown above The content is a request for activities while studying in the UK, including whether you are allowed to work.

If you want to study part-time in the UK, you must study in the UK for more than six months, and you must also comply with the immigration regulations before you can work while studying abroad. However, if the course duration is shorter than six months, generally You are not allowed to work. If your spouse's visa period is more than 12 months, he or she can also work in the UK.

There is a time limit for working part-time while studying in the UK. The ordinary T4 visa is clearly marked with 'Work limit 20 hrs p/w term time' or 'Work limit 10 hrs p/w term time'. words. In other words, while studying in the UK, you can only work part-time for 20 hours a week (some only give 10 hours). It is illegal to exceed this time. Once you are found out, you may be deported if the situation is serious.

There is another situation. If your friend’s T4 has a prohibition, such as ‘No work’ or ‘Work prohibited’, then you cannot do any work of any nature. There are indeed such cases. He is the only one in the surrounding study abroad circle who has received such a ban. I heard that it is due to the tightening of British immigration policies.

What do you need to prepare for studying part-time in the UK?

In the UK, no matter what kind of job you want to do, you must first apply for a "National Insurance Number". NI is the British National Social Insurance Number. abbreviation. British law stipulates that once you start working, you must participate in social insurance within six weeks. The social insurance number is the account number you obtain after participating in this insurance.

Many employers will ask you for this "National Social Security Number". If you have applied for NI but have not received it yet, you can still apply for a job. You only need to inform the employer that you have applied and obtained NI. Then just give it to your employer.

If your friend’s BRP has an NI number printed on the back, then you do not need to apply. If not, you need to call to apply.

In the UK, a personal NI Number, like our national ID number, will accompany you for life and can only be used by you. Everything must be kept properly to prevent it from being used by bad people. If you need to apply, call the job center and the employment center will send you an application form. Just fill out the form and send it back. In most cases, you can apply by phone to confirm the information, but there are also cases where you will be arranged for an interview. This may be related to your location. You need to bring your documents to the interview, such as passport, temporary residence permit ID, birth certificate, British driving license, etc. While in the UK, a person can only apply for an NI number once.

Where to find part-time recruitment information

On-campus part-time job advertisements: Most schools are willing to leave some job opportunities to students, but the number of jobs in schools is limited, so act quickly , you should register at the school's Career Center as early as possible to get the upper hand; secondly, you should be careful enough to pay attention to the bulletin boards in the school's teaching buildings, libraries, dormitories, restaurants, and the Internet at all times. information.

Job Centers: The windows of "Job Centers" in the city center of England are full of recruitment information, and some stores are equipped with computers to provide the latest job opportunities. After you find a job, you can register with the agency without paying any fees. The employer will pay the agency a commission. The jobs found through this method are generally relatively formal, but they are mostly simple jobs and the wages are not very high.

Newspaper advertisements: Classified advertisements in newspapers often publish the latest recruitment information, but please note that most of the advertisements are small companies or individuals. Before applying, it is best to understand the status of the company. The company's recruitment and payment must be carried out in accordance with formal procedures, otherwise it may suffer losses.

Introduction from friends: Introduction from friends who have worked before is a very reliable and safe way for British students to work part-time. In the UK, people's initial credibility is relatively high. Through the recommendation of friends, you can often find some very well-paid jobs, and even get internships in large companies, because these jobs rarely recruit from the public.

Therefore, if you make more friends, including local British people, you will often get unexpected gains through their social relationships.

A Chinese student studying at the University of Stirling in the UK had his visa canceled and deported because he sold lunch boxes through WeChat. Many Chinese people doing similar businesses also had their visa canceled and deported. The classmate was investigated by the British Immigration Service. The incident came to light allegedly because the student occupied the common kitchen for a long time (16 hours a day) and was reported by his roommates. The school immediately reported the incident to the Immigration Bureau after investigating.

A spokesman for the British Home Office (home office) responded:

“International students holding Tier 4 visas cannot be self-employed or engage in commercial activities. Once any violations are discovered, The student visa period will be shortened or a lawsuit will be filed. ”

This is actually a visa cancellation and deportation! In addition to canceling the visa, he will also be taken to court!

Once the above behaviors are verified, the visa will be canceled and deported back to the country.
