You cannot do that. You can only work in a secondary job through a company (not your own) on PAYE for 20 hours per week and it must be in the same SOC as your main tier 2 job.Regarding your question on director, I plan to set up a company for the insurance broking business and plan to be the director. Any thoughts if there is a way to do the insurance broking business without breaching visa rules?

If you want to do your own business, you should consider a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa.
Hi CR001,
Hi CR001. I'd like some clarity on this too.CR001 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 27, 2018 8:40 pmYou cannot do that.

“employment” unless the contrary intention appears, includes paid and unpaid employment, paid and unpaid work placements undertaken as part of a course or period of study, self employment and engaging in business or any professional activity.
“Self-Employed” means an applicant is registered as self-employed with HM Revenue & Customs, or is employed by a company of which the applicant is a controlling shareholder.
Hi Jeff39827. I found this article quite helpful: third party immigration advisor weblink removed by moderatorJeff39827 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:47 pmHi CR001,
Thank you for your quick reply.
May I ask two other questions regarding to your comments.
1) So the fundamental problem is self-employment? Do you mind provide some source of immigration rules which indicate that self-employment under T2 is not allowed?
2) Of course, one must work under the condition of 'supplementary employment' and the rules are the same profession as your main job and at the same level. In which case, An IT developer, who is sponsored as an APP developer for Xoogle, can work as an APP developer for Xmazon, correct?
Following up on that one, why can't this developer set-up a start-up ltd company with others and the company hire this developer on company PAYE?
(I think this then kind of link back to the first question because you consider this as self-employment)
