    Just in case you're missing Vetty

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...rker-visa.html

    "Dog 'beauticians', DJs and pilates instructors are among some of the obscure roles on Britain's foreign worker visa list, an Oxford academic has revealed.

    Other roles included on the UK's most-wanted foreign worker list includes dog walkers, homeopaths and 'air travel assistants'."


    Great headline and soundbite, which will no doubt get many foaming at the mouth. But unless you read right to the end of the article, you miss the small print.

    "Under current rules, foreign workers need to be sponsored by an employer and most must be paid a minimum of £38,700.

    The required salary drops to below £31,000 if the applicant is under 26 or in certain types of higher education."

    How do any of those roles earn nearly £39K?

    I know people who do it have done some of those jobs and due to the rates it's either a second job or second earners job.

      You may find that they deal mostly with cash, like Turkish Barbers, asian Nail bars etc. and therefore are used to launder money(from drugs, prostitution, people smuggling etc.), this laundering process earns the excheqeur a few quid when the laundered cash is spent for "legitimate" purposes, luxury cars, watches, houses etc...

            They can declare over £38K, they're starting/running a "Successful Business". They can declare £100k and no-one will check the footfall in their cash business.

              Don't care so long as they are validated and they pay the tax on their claims!
