UK Tier 2 general visa from UK?

Post by teresarossi » Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:44 pm

Hello,

I need to apply for a Tier 2 general visa for the UK and I'm an American citizen.

My question is: can I make a Tier 2 General visa application (with a certificate of sponsorship already in place) while on a touristic visa in a Schengen or non-Schengen country? Or must this be done from the US?

Thank you!

Teresa

You must apply for a Tier 2 visa in a country where you have legal residence and are not in the country as a visitor/tourist.

Your previous posts last month, state you are an EU citizen living and working in Republic of Ireland :idea:

Kindly state if you are asking on behalf of someone else as most of us check previous posts to understand the full circumstances.

He needs to apply in the US if he does not have residency (not as a visitor) in Ireland with you.
