Tier 2 General Visa - Travel Query

Post by Ozmond » Fri Dec 11, 2015 10:59 am

I am from Australia currently on a Tier 2 General visa with my UK employer sponsoring me and I wondered if someone could direct me to the rules of travel with such a Visa. I may have to travel to Europe for work and I wanted to know what the restrictions were on such travel across Europe?

Any absence is counted towards the limit you have to keep within (assuming you are aiming for ILR at some point). Your absences should not be more than 180 days per 12 month cycle and the cycle depends on when you intend to apply for ILR (i.e. not necessarily a calendar year). Assuming too that you will continue to be employed by your UK sponsor and receive your salary in the UK after the appropriate taxes.

For working in Europe, you will need to research the requirements per country you intend to work in or visit for business purposes.
