Sorry I disagree with this comment. The condition of student visa is that the holder supports and accommodates himself without recourse to public funds AND employment. You are not allowed to engage into any professional activity while on a student visa. It only allows you to work 20 hours in order to earn some pocket money and in order to be issued with a student visa, there is a requirement that you have enough means to pay for your education and accommodation in the UK, the evidence of which you have to produce to the ECO or you will be refused.hypegal3 wrote:Some student work over 20 hr per week, because tuition fees are too expensive and rent, waster, light bills what do you expect, how are students going to pay for these things working only 20 hrs.
I don't think the IND are able to obtain the information how many hours a student worked this way, as Inland Revenue itself has no way of knowing this. You can work and earn £20 per hour or £5 per hour - Inland Revenue does not know that. All they know is how much tax you have paid to date and what your tax code is. You can work on two jobs by 20 hours, and they will not know this.Rozen wrote:I guess it's IND's way of tracking down students who are working more hours than they should do

Unless this procedure has been changed recently, there is no available means of tracking down this information.

So don't even mention anywhere that you work in order to earn to pay your fees. The purpose of your student visa is to study and not to work.
