Is RLMT required when switching T2 to T2 for postgraduate?

Post by PamelaT » Thu May 19, 2016 11:26 pm

Dear all,

I am currently on Tier 2 (general) visa and I'd like to switch my employer. Since I got my masters degree in the UK and was on Tier 1 (PSW) visa prior to my current Tier 2 visa, my current employer didn't need to perform resident labour market test (RLMT). However, if I'd like to switch my employer and apply Tier 2 (general) again, does my future employer need to perform RLMT or am I still exempted for RLMT as a UK post-graduate?
I would be so grateful if anyone of you could answer my query.
(P.s. please accept my apologies if this topic has been addressed under some other topics. In such case, I'd highly appreciate if you could direct me to the link as I couldn't find it.)

Many thanks,
Pamela

Yes, RLMT is required for switching sponsors. You are no longer a PSW, so that category is irrelevant now.
