If you are working in the UK under a Tier 2 Visa, there are a few common reasons for needing to extend it. These include changing jobs, being sponsored by a new sponsor, or your Tier 2 Visa expiring. The initial Tier 2 visa allows applicants to work in the UK for up to 5 years. After this period, you must apply for a Skilled Worker/Tier 2 general visa which grants applicants a further 5 years in the UK.
To qualify for a UK Skilled Worker/UK Tier 2 visa extension, you must meet a number of requirements, including working for a UK employer who has been approved by the Home Office, and doing a job from the eligible list of occupations. You must also meet the financial requirements of the visa. The standard fee ranges from £610 to £1,408 depending on your circumstances.
As the Tier 2 Visa route has now changed to Skilled Worker, the extension process can vary depending on when you first came to the UK and when you got your certificate of sponsorship. It is recommended that you consult legal assistance when applying for a Skilled Worker extension to ensure your application and supporting documentation are correct.
