Re: Working remotely from outside UK on Tier 2 General Visa

Hi,

I have not heard of any such rule. I am currently overseas. Was granted Tier 2 visa a couple of weeks ago. Have already started working remotely and have informed my employer that I will arrive in the UK in mid January (around 2 months from now). They don't have any problem with it.

The delay between visa issue date and entry to the UK counts towards the absence limit.
Many thanks for your prompt response. Are you aware of any covid 19 related relaxations to this rule?
