If you are an EEA national, you can work without permission. If not, you will need entry clearance and permission to work.

A non-UK national may have leave to remain in the UK , either on a temporary or indefinite basis, but there may be restrictions on their ability to take up employment. You must therefore satisfy yourself that the person has permission to work in the UK and that your employment of them will not breach that permission. For example, students are permitted to work while studying for a limited period only. If they do not have permission, you may be able to apply for a work permit under the UK Work Permit Scheme depending on the particular circumstances.

A. You can seek leave to enter the UK in the following areas:-

(a) a person intending to establish him/herself in business;

(b) Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP);

(c) Investors;

(d) As a sole representative;

(e) Innovator;

(f) Writer, composer or artist.

Yes, you are permitted to bring your immediate family, whose leave to enter and remain in the UK will be dependent upon your own.

No, your permission to enter for the purposes of visiting the UK will not allow you to work or from obtaining public funds.

Some changes are permitted under the Immigration Rules and some are not but, in any event, you would need to seek leave to vary your leave and do so before the current leave expires. If not, you become an overstayer and liable to deportation.

In order to get indefinite leave to remain in the UK , you must be able to satisfy the Home Office that you qualify under one or other of the provisions in the Immigration Rules or on other discretionary grounds.

Most applications to the Home Office must be made on a specified form otherwise they will not be deemed valid.

Depending on the reason and circumstances leading to the decision, you may be able to appeal against the decision, either before or after deportation.
