elengine: You could get a train or bus from Prague to Brno. However I see the flights to Vienna are cheaper so it makes sense to use that route than going to Prague. Sorry I can’t help with the visa question. 1 Like |

Ibro99: - Does this visa holder, have a national insurance number...... - Buying stock and shares, is classified as a form of trading/investment - You have tax efficient ways of buying stocks/shares.... Simply open an ISA account, you can invest £20,000 per tax year (free of taxation)...... - If you open a GIA, you would be expected to pay tax, over any capital gains above £500.00......... - Trading is indeed a form of business, some investors receive over £1500 dividends payout monthly........🤣😁 1 Like |

H Everyone, I recently got an offer from my company, licensed to sponsor a skilled worker visa, as a Finance Business Partner. The salary is higher than 38,700 but while they were trying to apply for my COS, they noticed there is no code for Accountant. Was the SOC list changed recently? Is it that companies can no longer sponsor accountants? Would appreciate responses please. |

Thewritingnerd: It's neither practicable nor economically sustainable now. One major constraint now is population growth - more people seeking/eligible for university education. Those countries still giving education for free would eventually change in the foreseeable future. |

Ebonybiuty: It’s still there under 2421 - Chartered and Certified Accountants. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-eligible-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-eligible-occupations-and-codes 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Controlv: 7:43am On Apr 19 |
Ebonybiuty: 2421 is the occupation code for Accountants. You need to earn the standard going rate of £46,800 to be eligible for sponsorship. However, if you have been on a skilled worker visa prior to 4th April, then you can be sponsored using the lower going rate which is £33,900. If the pay for this role is below £46, 800 and you were not on a skilled worker visa prior to 4th April, your employer could consider using 4124-Finace Officers, and you qualified for sponsorship since the pay is higher than 38,700. Sometime last year before this recent review, I know an employer that used accounts manager occupation code for a qualified management accountant role because the going rate for account manager was lower. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-going-rates-for-eligible-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-going-rates-for-eligible-occupation-codes 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hi, Thank you Lexusgs430. Yes the visa holder has a national insurance number and why do you ask please? I’m confused about your second point please. Does this mean a tier 2 visa holder MUST not buy and hold shares outside an ISA? Speaking of ISA, can a tier 2 visa holder open a LISA and receive benefit of the £1K for every £4K saved towards buying their first home? Is that seen as receiving public funds? What’s GIA please? Lastly, so opening a trading 212 invest account and buying and holding stocks outside an ISA is a form of business as you may have to complete a tax assessment once the dividend exceeds £500? Before it does, is it still safe to buy and hold? Lexusgs430: |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 11:51am On Apr 19 |
Controlv: To the bolded, one of the conditions of a sponsor license is the employer is required to select the most appropriate/closest matching SOC code based on the job duties of the proposed role. Otherwise most employers would just select a lower rated SOC code and pay less. Most Finance officer roles have lower level duties than a Finance Business Partner. Is the OP happy for their responsibilities to be watered down to fit a Finance Officer job description? Or rather, this is an opportunity for HR to ensure his/her salary is inline with the going rate if it isn't already. 1 Like |

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I already opened an account. Would have liked to use your referral link. Just to confirm please, if the stock dividend exceeds £500 for a tier 2 visa holder is that deem as a business with the need to complete a tax assessment? Also, is that a violation of the visa rule?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNo5yaExAXw I’m happy Rishi is trying to get those on benefits back to work. They have become very lazy and over relying on this benefits and I think it’s unfair to migrants who pay taxes/ IHS with no recourse to public funds. 3 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Peerielass: 3:22pm On Apr 19 |
lavida001: Just say it’s unfair period. British people also pay taxes and some of them are not eligible for benefits due to earning high wages. They also have private health insurance so never use the NHS but they’ve been paying national insurance contribution for donkey years. The system is unfair to the working population irrespective of whether they are British or immigrant. 11 Likes |
