Dependent to Tier 2 switch stamping from thrid country

Post by maxc » Sun Jun 09, 2019 7:40 am

Hi,
I am an Indian national on spouse visa working and residing in UK for the last year. My employer is switching me to Tier 2 visa.
My question is for stamping of the new visa do I need to return to home country or can I go to a third country like USA or Ukraine and get new visa stamped there.

Thank you for the help.
Max

You must apply in a country where you have legal residence, ie not in a country as a visitor.

Thank you CR001 for a lightning fast reply.

Recently an Indian friend got USA-H1B stamped from Dubai on a visit visa and it went without a hitch, I was hoping it would be the same case for UK.

Anyways your help is much appreciated.
