Accidentally worked more than 20 hours UK – what should I do?

  • 0

Hi everyone, I am an international student currently studying in the UK, something happened last week (mind you, I work part-time). I noticed last week that I worked more than the allowed hours, however, it wasn’t intentional, this was by accident and I didn’t notice until now. My question is, what will happen to me, what should I do now?

    If you accidentally worked more than 20 hours per week on a UK student visa, inform your employer about the need to work fewer hours and jointly reduce your working hours to comply with your student visa rules immediately.

    Keenly monitor your work hours to ensure you do not go over the limit again. Depending on how many hours you worked, there may be no need to inform the UK Home Office, however, you must ensure that this mistake does not repeat itself.

    The UK authorities take student work hours seriously and you must do your best to follow the rules to stay out of trouble.
