Hello !
Apologies if this is already answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find any answers related to my queries.
I came to UK on Feb-2018 through General Tier 2 visa (Employer-1). Within this 2 year I had been to my home country 2 times for vacation (60 days outside UK). I changed my employer who sponsored me Gen Tier 2 visa. I applied for visa on Nov-2019 and its valid until Nov 2021. My current employer is flexible with remote working,I am planning to visit my home country frequently and planning to spend 100-120 days (2-3 trips) in a year. So it will be around 300-350 days in another 3 years. It would be helpful if you could answer my below queries,
1) During my stay outside UK, I would be still getting salary in UK bank account. Also I would be paying tax,NI,Rent and all other bills. Is this legal to do remote work from outside UK ?
2) I need to make sure time spent outside the UK should be within 180 days in any 12 month period. Is my understanding correct ?
2) Will I be questioned about long absence/purpose of frequent visit in UK border at airport ? If so , do I need to get any letter from my employer about remote working ?.
3) As I am eligible for ILR after completing 5 years in UK, will this absence affect ?
4) While applying for ILR, Do I need to get letter for vacation/ Remote working from all the employers to prove my absence ?
Many Thanks in an advance !
