JenWarr 10 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 3,405 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rammygirl 2,164 Posted June 16, 2019 Depending on what he does he may need a licence to contract in Australia though. So many wineries ......so little time :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you aware of the issues surrounding temp visas? I haven't had a TSS offer, no. We were looking for TSS roles for him, but think perhaps I'll have more luck. 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 3,405 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
