Dear all, I had a quick look through the forum, but didn't find a discussion on that matter. It seems that many people do postal inland applications, although online applications are available. I therefore wonder, if anybody experienced any problems with online applications (Tier 2 change of employe...

Thank you very much! And yes, RTFM applies to me... Sorry!

Dear all, I am currently on Tier 2 (General), and I need to apply for an extension due to the end of my previous visa and start of a new job.

But the new visa will be issued not from the date CoS was assigned, but from the date Indicated in CoS (start ...

Thank you very much for your replies! I remember that CoS can be issued 3 months prior for the job to start, and so you say that it is alright if the date of the new job will start next day after the previous job ends, right? Am I correct, that even though CoS is issued in advance, they can give the...
