Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Do you already have a job or are planning to apply for jobs in UK? I don't have a job but I keep on applying. I'm waiting for the Conservatives to release details of the new points-based immigration system this month as it'll give me more clarity on what to expect in 2021. My other option is to do ...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Thanks for replying. Yeah being stuck with the employer and fully depending on them for residence status is tricky as is. I am based in Berlin. Where are you planning to move? My first choice is the UK because of the language. But I also speak French so I'm considering France and Belgium as well. C...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Also based on what you are saying looks very edgy if some people get curtailment letter earlier than other it literally is luck. Also you say "IT professionals appear on the shortage occupation list" but honestly out of all the product companies I have been in touch with in last 4.5 years hardly 5 ...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Well the quality of life will always be higher in places where you speak the language and can integrate in the society so UK would rank higher in this case (just for the language) Hello simple_explorer1, my advice is to get the German citizenship then consider moving to Ireland where you won't have...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

In-fact I was less concerned about supporting oneself financially but more about being able to find a sponsored job in the available time as that will decide whether some can continue to reside in UK or not. According to the HO, when you lose your job, you will receive a curtailment of leave on you...

The majority of members who post make it to ILR without any issues, regardless of whether they change jobs and sponsors.
Thanks for sharing the insights.

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

move to UK on Tier 2 atleast I need to know whether reaching ILR is very difficult or not that much difficult. It is not difficult to obtain ILR on tier 2, provided you meet the requirements, which really are minimal (still employed and for 'foreseeable future', salary, absence limits, Life in the ...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Thanks for commenting. if you feel your long term earnings and quality of life in the UK will far exceed your long term earnings in Germany. Well the quality of life will always be higher in places where you speak the language and can integrate in the society so UK would rank higher in this case (ju...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

This is in stark contrast to Germany where there is no concept of sponsorship and license. So anyone with a who has a job offer above a certain salary threshold (for STEM it is fairly achievable) will get a work visa or will be able to change jobs on a whim without much bureaucracy which is ironic ...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

3] May be future points based immigration system after Brexit would open more doors as skilled workers would be needed in higher proportion than they are currently (again speculation based on loss of access to EU?) This can't be predicted at all (opening more doors for non-EU workers) as many thing...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Thank you @SKJ1984 for replying. Considering that you have PR in Germany. I would not opt for moving to UK. ILR via Tier2 is long process and why do you want to undergo that again. Yes 5 years indeed is a long time but my concern is even that is not very assured as there are too many variables in be...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

I dont think its wise to depend on others opinion. Yes I agree but the reason I asked the question on this forum is to check whether the reality (especially after Brexit, calls for points based immigration, relaxing immigration stance from the current gov. etc.) is different than what I heard/read ...

Re: (non EU) Germany to UK on Tier 2 worth it?

Thanks @silverocks for taking the time to read and reply my post. Really appreciated. However there is always a demand for software developers in the UK and mostly all the developer companies has the license to sponsor. As I am working in Germany every now and then I get calls from UK companies/Recr...
