Setting up as a Sole Trader as a student under Tier 2 Skilled Worker dependent visa

As the title suggests I am under a Tier 2 Dependent Visa and I will be entering University end of this year. I was wondering if I am eligible to set up as a sole trader. Thank you for your answers.

Hi,

A tier 2 or skilled worker visa would permit self employment, provided that self employment was withing the rules of the visa for additional employment. You can see guidance here:
