New sponsor after termination

Post by gaspar2428 » Thu Jan 26, 2017 11:10 pm

Hi,

I've been under a Tier2 visa for several years but unfortunately my sponsor decided to terminate several of us under sponsorship for internal business reasons. This was 2 weeks ago.

I have several job options now and may start the interviewing process hopefully next week. However I don't know if I can just switch sponsor now or if I should have to leave the uk and apply as if it were a new visa from scratch.

Any info would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Forgot to mention, my original CoS for the General Tier2 visa expires on early 2019.

Thanks again.

Find a new sponsor, get a COS, apply in the U.K.
No need to return home - in fact if you do you will be subject to a one year cooling off period if you get curtailment along the way.
