Financial Sponsor Permission - Urgent Help

Post by Diya1234 » Wed Nov 20, 2019 1:47 pm

Hello Everyone,

My tier 4 studies have been sponsored by my employer who is a public higher learning institution in my country under the ministry of finance. I was looking into switching to tier 2 visa. The requirements say that i need a permission if sponored by my home government. I wanted to know if my employer sponsorship is a direct home government sponsorship?

Thanks

Did you say you were sponsored by your employer/govt when you applied to tier 4 visa? Check your application to be sure.

I *think* you may need written permission of your emoyer to switch to tier 2.
My advice is based on personal research/experience, so pls check relevant UKVI sources.
