How often can I switch sponsor?

Hi everyone!

I'm a software engineer from a former commonwealth territory (not the one on my profile's flag). I arrived in the UK in Dec 2015 and started working for my former sponsor in Jan 2016. I recently switch job and started working for my current employer in Oct 2017. There was exactly a 60 days gap between my last job and my current job.

Unfortunately, I think I've made a very bad choice in choosing my current company and I now regard it. Recently there have been a few employers approached me and I'd like to start interviewing again. I was just wondering if there's any time limit of how often I can switch sponsor while in the UK on a Tier 2 general visa, and if there's any minimum time span I have to stay with my sponsor before I can switch job?

Thank you in advance!

There is no such limit. .You can switch to another employer as long as within 60 days after leaving currnet employer

It could become an expensive hobby though as you have to pay visa fee and IHS fee each time.
