New CoS: to extend Tier2 Gen Visa or apply for new one

Post by Teagun » Tue Aug 15, 2017 6:17 pm

Hi! I find that I can't contact Home Office so I can't get advise.

I am a holder of Tier2 GenVisa which will expire on Feb 2018. I now applying for a post in a different trust which can provide a New CoS. If I have a new CoS, do i apply for a new visa instead of getting an extension?

My worry if I will need to apply for a visa would be:

1. Do i need to take another IELTS?
2. Do I need to take another Tuberculosis screening?
3. Will i need to leave Uk while I am processing for a new visa? Coz if I will need to apply for a new visa, then that would mean using the online visa app form and it asks for date of intended travel etc..

Thank you. I am completely clueless with this one.

Change of job is treated as an extension application. you are technically extending your visa just that you are doing so with a new sponsor. You don't need to need the country to make the application. You need to check that the proper RMLT is carried out is required
