Changing employers on a Tier 2 Visa

Post by Oyoung » Mon Feb 15, 2016 1:03 pm

Hey gurus!

I was granted a Tier 2 work visa on 25/01/2016 for 5 years. Before this I was on a Tier 4 student visa and a Tier 5.

I had to do my application outside of the U.K. Due to my previous Tier 5. The Tier 5 visa was with my current employer and I'm now on the Tier 2 with them. My question is how soon can I change employers if I receive a better offer ?

I hope I provided enough info! If not let me know.

Kind Regards,
onion

Whenever you want. Provided your approved sponsor completes the proper RLMT process.

But you will have to pay the immigration health surcharge and visa fees again.
