Can my employer cancel my visa if I complain?

Only the Home Office possesses the legal authority to cancel your sponsored visa.

Can my employer keep my passport?

Employers cannot legally confiscate or withhold your passport under any circumstances in Britain. They may only request your original documents temporarily to conduct mandatory right-to-work checks before employment begins. You should contact the police immediately if a company refuses to return documents.

Do I have to pay back visa fees if I quit?

You might need to repay certain fees if your contract includes specific clauses. However, employers can never legally force you to reimburse the mandatory Immigration Skills Charge upon your resignation. Always review your employment contract carefully to understand your exact financial repayment obligations.

Can I work a second job?

You can undertake supplementary employment for up to twenty hours weekly under specific Home Office regulatory conditions. The secondary role must either be in the same occupation code or on the official shortage list. You must continue working for your primary sponsor while performing any supplementary jobs.
