Hi everyone,
I was hoping to get some advice on my situation. I’m a post-graduate doctor from Australia pursuing further sub specialty training in the UK. I currently have a tier 2 visa by my UK sponsor for the duration of 6 months. Following this I have to change to another employer who has told me they can’t offer me Tier 2 sponsorship but they will support an application for a Tier 5 sponsorship through the Medical Training Initiative.
My question is, do I need to go back to Australia to apply for a switch to Tier 5 from my current Tier 2 visa? If I do, am I eligible to apply for a Tier 5 in the Tier 2 cooling off period?
- I am currently not pursuing any post-graduate research or a degree during my stay in the UK and the work is purely clinical.
My other question is, if my wife and kids comes to visit me during the period I will be on a tier 5 visa, are they able to come on the Visa Waiver program as we all have New Zealand passports? My understanding is that they can be in the country for up to 6 months without a visa.
Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it.
