Can You Work on Fiverr on H1B?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 1:08 am

The short answer is yes, you can work on Fiverr while on an H1B visa. However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you plan on doing so.

For starters, it’s important to remember that your H1B visa is sponsored by your employer. This means that you can only work for the company that sponsors your visa. So, if you want to start freelancing on Fiverr, you would need to get permission from your employer first.

PRO TIP: If you are working on Fiverr while on an H1B visa, you are at risk of violating the terms of your visa and could be subject to deportation. The H1B visa is a temporary work visa that allows foreign workers to come to the United States to work in a specialty occupation. Fiverr is an online marketplace that allows freelancers to offer services to customers worldwide. While there are many legitimate services that can be provided on Fiverr, there are also many services that would be considered illegal under the terms of an H1B visa. These include, but are not limited to, sex work, child labor, and illegal drugs. If you are caught providing any of these services on Fiverr, you could be deported back to your home country.

Secondly, even if you do get permission from your employer to work on Fiverr, there are still some restrictions placed on H1B visa holders when it comes to freelance work. For example, H1B visa holders can only work for one client at a time. So, if you take on multiple clients through Fiverr, you would technically be violating the terms of your visa.

Lastly, it’s important to note that any income you earn through Fiverr will be considered “ supplemental income” by the US government. This means that you will still be required to pay taxes on this income.

So, while you can technically work on Fiverr while on an H1B visa, there are some things to keep in mind before doing so. Make sure you get permission from your employer and be aware of the restrictions placed on H1B visa holders when it comes to freelance work.
