    Is he planning to work through an umbrella or through a Ltd?

    Two possibilities.

    1. It's not up to them, their hands are tied
    2. They can do it, but don't want to, because they no longer wish to have a contractual relationship with your friend for some reason. He must have done something pretty bad to not want to continue making money out of him.

    Either way, your friend has no redress.

    *looks at forum heading* Good, as at 07:10 10/08/2019 it's in General.

    Looks like he/she/it will be going home then.

    Oh well.

    That's what rules are for.

    It's not unfair at all. It's the law.

    I know, I'm guessing it's part of their policy to see s physical visa
