Questions About Right to Work & Student Visa 20-Hour Cap Tracker [2026]
How does AsanWork calculate the 20-hour week for student visas?
AsanWork follows the official UKVI definition of a week: a 7-day period starting on a Monday and ending on the following Sunday. All scheduled and worked hours within this window are summed.
Can student visa holders work 40+ hours during official university breaks?
Yes. Once you upload an official university term date letter, coordinators can toggle the worker into 'Vacation Mode' allowing full-time hours for defined dates.
Does the system alert us when a worker's visa is close to expiring?
Yes. Automated alerts are triggered 90, 60, and 30 days prior to expiry, giving you ample time to request updated share codes or evidence of pending applications.
