Tier 2 visa with no public funds

Post by cc2018 » Mon Jun 25, 2018 12:41 pm

Hi there,
I'm Australian citizen with UK Tier 2 visa with no public funds as a condition.
I'm a bit confused as some people said we are eligible for child benefit or work benefit in the UK, and some people said we are not eligible for any benefit. Could I ask for some clarification about this please? Thanks!

You cannot claim any benefits on a Tier 2 visa. There are limited countries who can, Australia is not one of them.

See page 25 onwards in the Public Funds Guidance, link below.
