Share trading as hobby on tier 2 (general).

Post by botter » Wed Jan 22, 2014 11:32 am

Hi all. I am currently working in the UK on the Tier 2 general visa. I was just wondering if am allowed to own and trade stocks on-line. I find that a great hobby and a nice way to earn some extra cash on the side.

My main job has nothing to do with finance. I am a software coder with some finance background.
I know how restrictive the UKBA are with secondary and part time jobs so am just wondering if some casual share trading would be an issue for them.

Thanks for the help guys.

This thread is over 2 year old and the member only posted once and hasn't visited the forum since Jan 22, 2014

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
