YELLOW REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE

 

These are issued to the 3 S’s! Self-employed, self-sufficient or students. The only one of these 3 routes under which you may be employed is as a student.

 

SELF-EMPLOYED

 

If you come to the UK to set up your own business you will not need to obtain permission to work in that capacity, but you will need to demonstrate, if challenged, that you are genuinely self-employed.

 

Therefore, you may wish to apply for a Yellow Registration Certificate. You need to be aware, however, that a registration certificate issued on this basis will not allow you to take up any employment other than on a self-employed basis.

 

For further information on becoming self-employed in the UK please visit Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

 

SELF-SUFFICENT

 

Speaks for itself really!

 

If you have enough money to support yourself in the UK without working you may apply for the Yellow Registration Certificate in order to prove this.

 

STUDENT

 

This is the most interesting of the 3 because it offers you 2 types of employment opportunity.

 

If you are a student in the UK you may work for 20 hours per week during term time and full time in the holidays.

 

In addition to which, if you are a student on a vocational course* you may work full time as part of that course.

 

If you are a student in the UK you will need to apply for the Yellow Registration Certificate in order to work.


HOW CAN ETCi HELP?

 

ETCi cannot help you to become self-employed or a student but we can process these Yellow Registration Certificate applications for a small administrative fee. Please contact workpermit@etci.co.uk to find out if you qualify.

I STILL DON’T FIT ANY OF THE CRITERIA – ARE THERE ANY OTHER ROUTES OPEN TO ME?

 

Yes. You may still qualify for the Blue Registration Certificate as a highly skilled migrant.
