Out of Country Application (But not home country)

Post by akanetsamson » Tue Mar 29, 2022 6:52 am

Hi All,

I am a Nigerian living in Ghana. The ECOWAS Passport allows for free movement within West African countries in ECOWAS.

I have applied for UK Jobs and I'm receiving positive feedbacks. But my concern is, if it comes to applying for the Tier 2 work visa after receiving a Job offer and COS, can I apply from Ghana or must I go back to my home country (Nigeria) and apply from there?

Thank you.

If you're living in Ghana legally, you should be fine applying from Ghana.

You can apply wherever you are living.
