Can a work permit holder undertake supplementary employment?
An overseas nurse who has a work permit and wishes to take work additional to that for which the permit was issued, may do so without further permission from the Border and Immigration Agency, provided the work is: • outside of their normal working hours • no more than 20 hours per week • in the same profession and at the same professional level for which the holder’s work permit was issued • not employed by a recruitment agency, employment agency or similar business to provide personnel to a client. If you require specific advice about work permits or leave to remain applications, please contact the RCN Immigration Advice Service.
