How to freelance in the UK without violating the terms of my visa?
<p>I am a non-UK student studying in the UK. I have a visa and everything is pretty good, but my visa states that I can work no more than 20 hours per week. I don't want to have any problems, so how can I freelance, for instance, and prove that I have worked not more than allowed?</p>

<p>If you are on Tier 4 (students on full-time degree), you have more restrictions besides the number of hours. One of this is no self-employment (which includes freelance and consultancy or creating your own company).</p>

<p>It's quite simple, you can observe the hours-per-week cap and further demonstrate that you have no income from UK sources (and no income that can be attributed to UK sources) during your student visa.</p>
