Visa for freelancing ?

Hi Rafimu,

As long as you are on a dependent visa / family visa, you are not allowed to hold any sort of gainful employment. And freelancing would be considered as one. This would be something which would be mentioned in your husband's employment contract.

Freelancing by its very nature is a risky business, since the freelancer is not sure of getting remunerated satisfactorily or on time. Therefore, freelancing outside the country simply means multiplying the risks of recovering the money for the work done, manifold. And I don't think there is any employer in the world, who would pay in advance for a freelance assignment.
