IT Contract work valid work experience time?
Hi all,
when we started looking to emmigrate I thought the rules said I needed to work 12months in the last 2 years.
I now seems to of changed to either 12months in the last 18months or 3years in the last 4years.
The reason this is an issue for me is I have my own company that I do IT contracting through so even when my company is not in a contract it still employs me.
My company had a spell of 2 years without contracts (while I travelled) but still employed me so does that count towards my work experience time?
many thanks
Rich

no, but being self-employed is very different to being an employee of your own company.

I'm not sure how you will prove that you were working full-time if you were travelling for 2 years without contracts. Did you manage other employees while you were travelling?
