Working hour no restriction for Tier 4 during Covid?

Post by alex132 » Sat Aug 01, 2020 1:17 pm

According to website: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus ... -your-visa

Changes to the current restrictions on the number of hours you can work or volunteer
There is no longer a limit on the number of hours you can work or volunteer each week if you’re a:

tier 4 student
tier 2 worker and your NHS job is a second job
visiting academic researcher
holder of a short-term visa and are permitted to volunteer
If you’re a pre-registration nurse in the UK, the deadline for you to sit the Occupational Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has been extended to 31 December 2020. If you do not pass on the first attempt, you’ll have until 31 May 2021 to pass the exam.

Is that true that Tier 4 student can work more than 20hours per week now?

Not sure why you think Home Office guidance would publish guidance that is not true.

As it says, NHS workers or volunteers with a Tier 4 visa or any of those other types of visa have no restriction on the number of hours they can work or volunteer.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.

Sorry, I couldn't understand what you say. Do you mean Tier 4 still have restricted working hours (for those NOT NHS)

Yes, the lifting of the 20 hour restrictions is only for those NHS occupations listed in the guidance. It is not for ALL tier 4 students.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

Yes. The concession is very clearly under the heading "If you’re working for the NHS"!

It depends. Any work you do must meet your Tier 4 work conditions, which may be affected by any current concessions.
