Change of address, HO notification required or optional

Post by seyduna2017 » Mon Mar 27, 2023 4:56 pm

Dear members,

I have a Skilled worker visa and me and my wife (PBS dependent) have recently changed our address. Previously, I was required to update my police registration certificate but I did not know that we can also inform the Home Office via the link below. Previously I had changed address and did not notify HO about that and did not face any problem so far.

https://visa-address-update.service.gov.uk/

Can you please advise if we MUST notify HO every time we change address or is this just optional?

Secondly, should my partner use the link above seperately to notify HO or should I just add her name to my online form?

If you can advise, I appreciate

Best

The update I will say is optional.

A quick check on the page highlighted below gives an hint to this.

These changes may take slightly longer due to increased demand and the current COVID situation.

As a sponsored skilled worker visa holder, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your employer AND the home office have your correct and current address.

Thanks but as AmazonianX pointed out above, it does not sound like this is mandatory like police registration.

Can you also please advise how my partner (PBS dependant) can update her address with the provided link? When I update my information, it asks me about dependants. On the other hand, should she go to this link separately and fill the form or just me doing this enough?

If you can advise, I appreciate
