Hi,
Just a quick question.
Currently in TIER 2.
Due to extend my VISA in June/July 2017.

Do I need to ask my company to request for unrestricted COS now?

kind regards

It is too early. A CoS must be used within 3 months. Best to wait till nearer the time.

Remind your employer to apply for COS allocation for next year (april 2017-april 2018), once the window for such requests open.. Employers generally get emails in Feb.

@iworker thanks..

I checked with my company, and they said that the current licence ends in 05 may 2018.
So they don't need to apply right?
