You can’t live and work remotely if the UK employer doesn’t allow it.

You can’t simply set up a security business if you have an investor visa. It’s really not as simple as that.

how about letting the person determine where he can/can’t work with his current employer. I know many people who do that.

I was saying what they can/can’t do on an investor visa…only they may well be other options for them to explore instead of just moving here and wishing for the best.

@author of the post…I a couple of people who have done what you’re thinking about…they are back in the UK within 6 months and still looking at their options. Do your research on alternative ways.

I was simply pointing out what many people who work remotely for UK companies overlook. (That you can’t just simply drift around and work anywhere). I know of two people who set themselves up to work remotely from a UK company thinking no one would ever know, took out a year rental contract here only to be sacked for working in breach of their contract. Now saddled with debt hunting for a job. Of course there are many who do work remotely successfully.

I think you’ll also find that security companies are typically not amongst permitted businesses for foreigners to own/start. I’m sure someone will correct if I’m wrong.

Good morning all

Thanks for your constructive and honest feedback it is much appreciated.

There is a lot of things to think about and this year has been really big for us as we have moved to another city where my family and I don't know anyone after living somewhere for 44 years.

So I will have a think about what you have all suggested, if anyone can offer me any further guidance please don't hesistate to let me know.

Many thanks.

Kind regards.

Shafiq.

If that is a big move..how will moving to Saudi be of benefit? Do you know anyone here in the kingdom? It is a very socially isolated place to live. Difficult to meet people in general. Even western Muslims struggle in the mosques as they are outsiders.
