Old Sponsored work permit

Post by anees » Mon May 09, 2011 4:49 pm

Hi there,

I'm on the old sponsored work permit which will expire on the 30th November 2013.

I'm in the UK for about 2.5 years now.

Do I need to change to the new tier 2 system, or can I still apply for IRL after 5 years under my current sponsorship ?

Thanks...

On what date did you enter UK on the basis of this WP?

I entered the UK on the 27th November 2008.

I have a permanent work contract. Both the old work permit and the residence permit are valid for 5 years
