1. Check Your Student Visa Work Rights
Many student visas allow only a set number of work hours in term time. It is important not to work more than the limit.
What to do: Read the work section on the GOV.UK student visa page. Look at your visa stamp or online visa account and note exactly how many hours you can work during term and holidays.
What do you need: You need your passport, visa details and, if you have it, access to your online visa account.
Outcomes: You will know your work limits and can plan part-time jobs safely around your studies.
Lifehack: Tell your employer your maximum hours so they can plan your shifts correctly.
