Tier 2 G -change job-maintenance for dependent

I am currently holding Tier 2 General visa which was issued in 2009. I will change my sponsor this year and apply for a new Tier 2 General visa with my dependents in the UK. I know that for me (main applicant) I do not need to provide the maintenace fund again when I submit the visa application.

Do I need to show maintenance funds for my dependants who are in the Uk and also holding a Tier 2 dependent visa? Thank you very much!!!

Reading the policy guidances will help.

Thank you very much!

50. When a family member of a Tier 2 Migrant applies at the same time as the main applicant they are only required to provide evidence that he/ she meets the maintenance requirement when the Tier 2 Migrant is also required to meet the maintenance requirement. When a family member of a Tier 2 Migrant applies separately from the main applicant he/she will always need to have the necessary funds to meet the maintenance requirement or have a written undertaking from an A-rated Sponsor.


51 For example, where the Tier 2 Migrant is submitting an application because he/she is changing . employment within Tier 2, neither the Tier 2 Migrant nor any family member is required to submit evidence that they meet the maintenance requirement.

51 means that my depedents do not need to provide the evidence of the maintenance because I do not need to provide it?? Right?
