You have not described your situation at all clearly here but if both your Tier 2 leave and your job are continuing, any questions about what time you can spend away from work (or from the UK) are a matter for your employer to advise on.

1. when will my CoS get expire ?

Once you left job, Your employer will notified HO to curtain your visa.

2. Do we need to apply new CoS to travel back to UK ( while im outside UK)

Your now subjected to 12 months cooling off period, no chances to come again on Tier 2 General.

3. what could be my chances to travel back to UK.

Answer 2

You appear to be thinking of your CoS as somehow separate from your Tier 2 visa. Your CoS was issued for your previous Tier 2 application, and used accordingly. It is irrelevant now.

If I understand correctly, your job contract ended early and you returned to your home country. What you need to do to come back to the UK depends on your reasons for needing or wanting to come. If it is for a new sponsored skilled job under Tier 2, yes you will need a new CoS.

>>>> Thank you for your kind reply.

Pointing to #2 : " If it is for a new sponsored skilled job under Tier 2, yes you will need a new CoS "

So do we not require CoS if it is for an same skilled job what i was doing before leaving UK

You don't need a new CoS if you are continuing with the same employer.

You only need a new CoS if you are changing sponsors.

Although the Tier 2 leave appears to have ended and the leave presumably curtailed, so even a new job with the same employer would need a CoS.

OP, your situation is still not clear, so probably best if you ask your new Tier 2 sponsor direct for advice about this.
