Tier 2 General - Switching Employers Online application link

Post by rubyracer2 » Thu Mar 02, 2017 1:22 pm

Hi all,

Could you please share the link for online application to switch to a new employer under Tier 2 General?

In the Home Office link (https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/apply), they have shared two links
Apply in the UK
Check if you can apply from inside the UK to:

extend your existing Tier 2 (General) visa
switch to this visa from another visa
Both of these don't apply to me as I am looking to switch within Tier 2 general to another employer. Please advice

It is the same form.
If you change your job
You may need to apply to extend your Tier 2 (General) visa application if:

you want to change your job and your new job is with a different employer
your job changes to a different standard occupation classification (SOC) code
your job is taken off the shortage occupation list
your changes of job means you’re paid less than the amount stated on your certificate of sponsorship or work permit

In life you cannot press the Backspace button!!
Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.
