Can a Person With a Points-Based System (PBS) Visa Be a Director or Shareholder?

Yes. Individuals holding a Points-Based System (PBS) visa can generally be appointed as directors or shareholders of a UK company.

However, visa holders should check the conditions of their specific visa, as some immigration categories restrict certain types of business activity or self-employment.

Company directors are responsible for ensuring that the company complies with its legal obligations, including filing requirements with Companies House and tax obligations with HM Revenue & Customs.
