Application for Tier 2

Post by nic0619 » Tue May 22, 2018 4:15 pm

Current Visa: T5 yms
Visa expires on Aug,18
An employer is happy to sponsor me to work under T2.
I know I will have to apply from HK(where im from). there are certain requirements listed on the site:
  • have a valid certificate of sponsorship for your job
  • show you’re being paid an appropriate salary for your job
  • prove your knowledge of English
  • have personal savings so you can support yourself when you arrive in the UK
  • show you can travel and your travel history over the last 5 years
  • have tuberculosis test results if you’re from a listed country
  • provide a criminal record certificate from any country you’ve lived in for 12 months or more in the last 10 years, if you’ll be working with vulnerable people


I was on Tier4 as a Uni student, then applied T5yms after my Tier4 expired and continued to work in the UK until now.
As my visa is not expired yet; I am still in the UK working under my T5 visa. If I were to apply in HK, do I have to provide TB test and criminal record from HK? (providing I was in the UK for the past few years.)
Also, the employer asked me to provide them with a criminal record to them in order for them to apply for the CoS. Im not sure if I have to apply one from HK?

Many thanks for reading all this.

The Tier 2 Guidance has a specific list of what SOC codes need to provide criminal record and if you do need one then yes you need one from Hong Kong and I am sure you can have a TB test from inside the UK?
