Im not under tier 4 but my school told me that Im only entitled to work 20 hours/week. Under the old system I can work 40 hours/week. So can I work 40 hours/week coz Im under the old system? thanks

work is permitted for up to 20 hours each week rising to full time hours during holiday periods under the old or new rules for students
its different...other school it allows student to work more than 20 hours per week if youre under the old system. not unlike tier 4 its limited.
you were never allowed to work more than 20hrs, but on some nvq courses some did, because nvq is mostly work experience, thats why the gov changed it so you have to spend time in a class room now..
im nvq so i can work 40 hours because others work more than 40 hours.
That's a logical fallacy.
Assumption 1) I am an accountant
Assumption 2) Other accountants lie and steal
Assumption 3) It's OK for me to do so.
Not the case, because between Assumption 2 and assumption 3 you need to make the logical leap from "doing" something to it being "ok to do" the thing.
So remove Assumption 2b, and your conclusion is logically not valid.
However.
I once knew a chinese student, let's call him "Mr Dong" (as that is his name)
1) He is only allowed to work 20 hours
2) He worked more than 20 hours
3) He left country for a holiday
4) He wasn't allowed back into country again
5) It's because of his work time being above what he's allowed.
So ... in closing, all I'll say is ... you want to take the risk?
student not allowed to work morethan 40 hours unless during school holidays. The money you are going to spend for your visa, school fee, accomodation etc think million times if your purpose it just to work bec you can't survive here for only 20 hours work and if you work morethan that you are in big trouble, IMO.
hopefully the tax people are blind and don't see them working many hours.
all things are possible!
Would you like to report, or do you mean hypothetical?
Generally, the inland revenue have skilled investigators whose job it is to sniff out this stuff.
If you want to report them, call HM revenue and customs and complain, they'll take it from there . . . I think
something like that.
I'm no accountant, so don't quote me!![]()
The new system requires you to have somewhere in the region of 10K in your account for 30 days prior to applying, but the there is no real checks to see if you can actually afford to spend that money or if it is just borrowed. Upping the amount may reduce the number applying, but not stop the problem.
Stopping international students working totally would just make it more likely for some students to work illegally.
applicants for study permits may take part-time or holiday work but must not engage in the following:
* Work for more than 20 hours a week during term time (except in vacation periods), unless it is a work placement and part of a study program and the educational institution agrees.
* Conduct business, be self-employed, or provide services as a professional sports person or entertainer.
* Work full-time in a permanent job.
so you cannot work 40 hrs
Dont insist the 40 hours, or you will have nothing and if you caught even 5 hours you will get nothing but sent back to phil. Follow the law/rules
