Your HSMP visa will initially be issued for a period of 24 months, during which you may seek work or self-employment opportunities. After the initial 24 month period, you can apply for a HSMP extension of up to five years as long as you, and your family if applicable, have been able to support yourselves and you continue to meet the HSMP criteria.

If your HSMP application is successful you can seek and take any type of work while you are in the UK under the HSMP scheme. This includes being self-employed.

Yes, the spousing credit will apply. It is now called the "family combined-credit." The single coverage tier credit is combined with the employee plus children coverage tier credit, and both credits are applied toward the cost of the family premium when both husband and wife are UK employees. The out of pocket cost is exactly the same as one employee being on a single plan and the other employee being on an employee plus children plan (with the exception of the UK PPO and UK Indemnity plans).
