JenWarr Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hi there. I’m considering applying for TSS, and I will include my partner in my application. He works as a contractor in the U.K. so I’m wondering, on my TSS visa, will he be able to work as a contractor? Or will he have to take an employee job? Thanks all.

VERYSTORMY Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 He would have no restriction on working. Have you got a company willing to sponsor you? You can not just apply without that. Are you aware of the issues surrounding temp visas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Depending on what he does he may need a licence to contract in Australia though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are waiting on a 190/189 visa but it's taking years so far, so we just wanted to get out there faster. Yes we know the TSS isn't perfect, but it's a stepping stone, hopefully! It would be more attractive if he could work contracting while I'm in an employed role because I could take something with a smaller salary if he could contract.

VERYSTORMY Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 He can not be self employed. He must work full time for the sponsor and can not work for any other employer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
