Tier 2 Employer Switch Notice

Post by hemark » Wed Feb 10, 2021 2:59 pm

Hi,

I had applied for switching my employer for Tier 2 General. I had kept a gap of 3 months for new employer start date to get enough time for Notice as it said processing can take upto 8 weeks. I have now got my visa approved and a new BRP faster than expected. I need to serve a notice of 1 month only but i have 2 months before my cos start date. Do i need to hand over my notice immediately as i now have my new BRP or can i wait for a few days before handing my notice so that i can avoid a long employment gap. Please advise.

Thanks,
Hema

You can continue working for your previous sponsor until the start date on your new COS / BRP, if your current permission to stay is still valid.

So you can serve notice that matches with your new employer start date and covers your notice period.

When did you submit your application, your biometrics and when did you get your approval if you dont mind me asking?
