Can an overseas national on a work permit do supplementary work?
Supplementary employment arrangements apply to overseas nationals who already have a work permit, and who want to take on additional work to that which their work permit visa was issued for. Under these circumstances the work permit holder may undertake additional work without further permission provided that the work: is outside of their normal working hours; is no more than 20 hours per week; is in the same profession and at the same professional level for which the holder?s work permit visa was issued; and is not employed by a recruitment agency, employment agency or similar business, which provides personnel to a client. A work permit holder is also not allowed to enter self-employment, establish a business or join another business as a director or partner.
