Hi everyone - I have seen a lot of basic questions being raised about Tier 2 general & Tier 2 ICT visas. I have done a separate video about this on my channel which I believe will explain a lot of the queries. The link to the video is in the card and description. Thanks!
Please advise:My education qualification is diploma in hotel management which according to NARIC is national diploma level or RQF level 3.am I eligible to apply for tier 2 general visa after the rule change in 2021?I have a job opportunity in hand.
Great amount of Information Arjun. What a commendable job you did for us! Fabulous explanation and simple to understand. Thanks a million man! Keep posting and keep helping people who are UK aspirants around the world :)
This is seriously fantastic! I am currently on a Student Visa, called the Tier 4 visa earlier. Considering that there is a 2 year post graduate work permit now, can you do a video on that, as well as how one might be able to then apply for a Tier 2 visa. Thanks for making such an informative video without the fluff; every minute has relevant content unlike some other channels that try to push for that 10 minute mark.
Thank you Rohan - I try and do content usually on stuff I have personal experience with. So I won’t be able to do one on the post graduate work permit but certainly can on the tier 2 visa as I got one whilst I was studying abroad. I’m glad you are enjoying the content. I do a lot more than just visa stuff on my channel so if there is anything else you are struggling with here let me know and I will do a video on it
@@TheNimbleNomad hey thanks a lot. Yeah I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos. I’m looking into how I can invest / save a bit of cash while I here, and perhaps once I get a job I’ll already be familiar with popular platform and best practices. Thanks again!

Hi thank you very much for this video it was indeed very helpful if I come on ict tier 2 visa what are the norms for converting to skilled based visa a video on that would be very helpful Cheers
@@TheNimbleNomad Have shared your videos with 3 friends already. As mentioned by most of your followers, thanks for not beating around the bush. It immensely helps as most people whether being on student visa or skilled we bunch are really scared of not getting into some kind of illegal routes(I myself was vary of investing as most forums suggests it would effect ilr, ni number or what not) I think your videos would help other country citizens too. I would be grateful if you can do an investing video for tier 4 visa as it says legally you can invest and not have more 10% of company shares. It's really confusing to say the least. Thanks again.
Thanks I think the 10% of company shares is a really difficult number to achieve - I don’t have the specific literature where you have found this but my wife was investing even before she got her ILR and it has had no impact to her status. You are legally allowed to put £20k each year into an ISA so if you invest that through a stocks and shares ISA or a LISA you are fine. Thanks for sharing my content. I really appreciate it!
This is a very good piece of information about Tier 2 visa, please also make vedio on if a dependent gets the sponsor while still residing as dependent, they can change their visa into tier 2 visa category??? TIA
Hi. Thank you for all information. I have a question. After getting an ILR, can a person do multiple jobs (as he is no more under immigration restrictions ), like running a monetized youtube channel (self employed) along with the main job, as on Tier 2, self employment is not allowed.
Very well explained sir, I just have on question ,is a person who owns a dairy farm in uk and does not keep manager and work by himself in the farm and sells his milk to a private company is he eligible for tier 2 visa if not then for which visa is he eligible.
firstly i realy appreciate your effort to explain every small detail about T2 visa ! and Secondly i have a simple question : I'll be in London under T5 visa for 8 months , Can i switch it to T2 while i'm in the UK ?
Hi, ... thank you... If you get offered a job on the SOC job list and get the minimum wage required... do you still need a sponsor? Thank you very much.
Nice Video. My Tier 2 ICT Visa started in May 2018. If I get a Certified sponsor to get me a CoS, can I switch to Tier- 2 without a cool-off or within UK under the new Point Based System ?

(please note: When I applied for my Tier 2 Visa, I did not show any maintenance fund as my sponsor certified my maintenance on my CoS).
For dependents I think you need show something I can’t remember the exact amount but when you fill the application at the end you get a checklist which explains all the documents very clearly.

What should I say about this question? Also, all are fortune 500 companies and listed in the approved sponsor list.
You need to say you need sponsorship. In the Uk, Fortune 500 is not a concept but FTSE 100 are all the UK based companies and they are the largest 100 companies. FTSE 250 is the largest 250 and so on and so forth.. look at these if you want to apply. Thanks for watching and your comment - all the best!

Thanks for watching. I’m sorry but I don’t have any experience with the nursing field. I think there are a few other channels on youtube that talk about this though. All the best!
Thanks for your videos.I am from Africa ,residing in Africa and looking for remote jobs in IT (Business Intelligence /Data Engineering/Database Developer) for companies in UK.I have a degree in Telecoms & IT Engineering and an Executive MBA. Is this sort of job arrangment possible and if possible ,where can i get more details on how to apply. Some of us are avoiding migrating migrating from our home countries.
Hi Arjun, in the new rules, 1. do employer need to provide the certificate of sponsorship or providing a job offer letter to Employee is enough? 2. Do we need IELTS or NARIC certificate based on our Academics is enough? Please can you provide the answers for above queries
Point 1 - I have covered in my video. There is no CoS anymore. Point 2 - I don’t understand why you need either, as long as you can submit proof that your degree was taught in English you shouldn’t need NARIC / IELTS. Rules may have changed but this is usually for ILR and Citizenship not for new tier 2 visas as far as I am aware.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks for reply For point 1 just job offer letter enough from employer then I can apply for visa I have gone through RUclips videos there mentioning cos and in gov uk website also mentioned certificate of sponsorship required I got confused
You only need to supply what is requested in the application checklist. When you fill out the form and submit it it will present you with the application checklist which you can use to provide documents. Have you done that and is that asking for a CoS?
Hi Arjun, I hope you have great day.I have quick question on Tier 2-ICT currently I am holding it but due to pandemic I have return to my home country. May i know the process to go back and settle in UK with current valid tIer 2 - ICT visa. Need your suggestion.
You need to get sponsored by your company in order to return. Or if your visa is valid you need them to transfer you to the UK. Based on what you’ve provided it’s difficult to confirm why anything would change
Thanks Arjun for sharing the very good explanation for the visa changes. One question, i am on Tier 2 ICT visa for 5.5 yrs and living continuously UK since 2015. Can i extend for few more years in ICT?
Yes I believe you should be able to extend your visa provided you meet the salary cap requirements and the cooling off period I have mentioned in the video
Sorry I have just re read your comment - you say you’ve lived continuously in the UK. I think under the new rules that are coming into play you may need to check what the salary cap is. Previously if you earned more than £120k you could extend, but I think this has now changed/reduced. I recommend maybe checkin with your companies immigration team about the new rule and whether you can qualify based on your salary. If you are below the salary cap which I think is now £73k (please check) you may not be able to extend
@@TheNimbleNomad Thanks a lot for explanation. Regarding the ICT extension, i was thinking the same as i continuously living for more than 5 yrs. if so then i will need to change the job that means i will need to look for the sponsor so that i can convert to PBS Skilled worker visa (Old Tier 2 General). Am i right?
Yes - either you meet the salary cap requirements to stay on the ICT visa and extend or change your visa, however you will need to check whether you can do this for a general visa as you have stayed continuously in the UK for 5 years. All of this is under the assumption you want to continue to stay in the UK.
My passport stamped UK tier2 visa on December 16th 2020. I am planning to travel on February 15th 2021. Is there any policy i need to travel particular time? What are the documents i need to carry while i travel? Please advice me.
As long as you have a valid visa (visa has not expired) and leave to remain to enter the UK there is no policy about traveling within a certain duration as far as I am aware.
hi buddy, Thanks for your information. For me ICT visa processing from Capgemini. I have 10 years of experience working as a senior consultant. Any ide how much salary they can offer me and how much minimum I can save. I am single.
Hi , I am right now on a Tier 2 General visa till 2022 does these changes affect my present status and my extension in the future if I am with the same employer?
Hi , I am on Tier2 visa which will end in July 2021 but my company will not extend me after that and will not provide ICT CoS, so should I look for another job here who can provide me ICT CoS and till when? Also how I can search new job, I am tech Engineer.
Sorry are you on a Tier 2 ICT visa or Tier 2 general visa? If your company is unwilling to extend your visa then I am afraid you will have to either return back to your country or look to switch jobs (provided you are on a General visa). If you are on an ICT visa I think you need to switch to General which requires you to find a new job.
Well you need to check whether you can switch whilst in the country. If you are switching from ICT to general you most likely need to go back to your home country. As far as I am aware, they will not allow you to switch to tier 2 general whilst on an ICT whilst staying in UK. However the rules have changed, so you may need to check/speak to an immigration advisor
Perfectly explained! 👍 Subscribed to your channel ✨ I'm a freshly graduated dentist from India and I'm trying to get into UK by trying to get into a dental hygienist job by getting Tier 2 Sponsorship visa from an employer there! I've heard that sponsorship visa is very hard to get in the current and past scenarios especially for dental jobs, so hopefully the new Brexit system and immigration rules from January will make it more possible for me to get into UK right?
The rules have not yet come into play - they start from 2021, but in essence it should be easier. Atleast that is my interpretation, but it depends on each field of work individually.
As long as the company is willing sponsor your visa (tier 2) you should be able to switch. I am assuming you are referring to tier 2 general when you say “skilled visa”
Hello Sir, Let say I am on ICT visa for 3 years and switch to PBS for next 2 years,can I apply for ILR or I need to spend 5 years on PBS visa for ILR please clarify..🙂
What if my ICT visa is not expired and I want to switch to a different company in UK. how can I transfer the current visa to new Visa for new company?? Could you please explain..
Under an ICT visa you cannot transfer between companies. You will need to switch to a general visa. I’ve done a more detailed video on the differences between ICT and general visas - link in description
Hello sir , I have a question please answer or make a video for the same .. Now the question is while applying for jobs in UK & filling up the JOB application form they ask you one question are you legally authorized to work in UK ?? As we all know we cannot apply for work permit until and unless we have a valid job offer from the Employer & sponsorship certificate from a licensed sponsor we can't apply for work permit . So while filling up the job application form what to answer when they are asking you "are you legally authorized to work in UK" ?? If you don't have work permit or authorization , you have to say No while applying in their job site & Employers are straight away rejecting your applications , So can you please guide me for this matter . Thanks
Hi Arjun, I got ICT for 5 years but returned after 1.8 years. Still valid till Apr 2022. 2 question - one if can I travel to UK same visa but different company? Two if I can apply for ILR from outside UK?
1. You cannot use an ICT visa assigned to one company for another company. It’s in the title - Intra Company Transfer visa. The company will have likely reported to the Home office that you left the country as they are legally required to do so. 2. You cannot apply for an ILR on an ICT visa. I have done a video comparing ICT vs General visa you can watch that.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks. What's the outcome of last slide at 18:58 ....doesn't that imply ILR for people on ICT? If I come back to UK in 2021, can. I then apply?
No. I have not mentioned that at all in my video. As I said earlier you cannot apply for an ILR on an ICT visa. You are only eligible for ILR if you have completed 5 year residency in UK on a General visa. Please watch my comparison video it will clarify all your queries as I think you are confused about the two types of visas
Depending on the visa you want to apply for - the information should be available on the UK gov website. The documents that are required for the visa are stated at the end of the application and once you have paid the necessary fees.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks so much for your fast response, it's about VAF2 work permit visa...actually i got job offer letter from an employer in UK (still confused if it's true or scammer ). Employer asked me to check with the immigration visa section..do I need to apply online through the website or I've sent them the documents via mail.. they ask me to do a lot of things... and to pay £ 375 as visa processing fees..I need your assistance please
I have already subscribed to your channel. and I may consider opening an investment account later but I need to first sort out my immigration challenges first. Please can I contact you.
I’m sorry but I cannot provide advice on immigration as I am not a qualified advisor. Thank you for subscribing and watching my content, I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing this useful video. Could you please share some additional info like How to apply Tier2 General from Tier2 ICT visa? Can we apply online directly with existing COS or do we need to find a new sponsor again to convert it to Tier 2 General?
Thanks - I’ve done a comparison video before the new rules were announced on my channel. For a tier 2 general you need a sponsor so you either need to ask your existing sponsor or find a new one as far as I am aware. keep in mind I’m not an immigration advisor, so you will need to do your own research.
I think it is about £2400, the information should be available on the gov website. Only difference is no option for fast track application which is usually £800
I don’t understand your question, but if you are asking of the fee has been exempted then no. The government wants to suck every last £ from you even during Covid
@@TheNimbleNomad Thanks a ton for replying, Am living in Abu Dhabi and am an Indian, my brother is in UK and he holds UK passport, he has recently got tier 2 sponsor licence, so how can i benefit from it in terms of immigration and settling in UK as in what are the scopes for me. I hope am clear sir, your inputs will be highly appreciated. Looking forward to ur reply Sir.
It will take you almost 8 years to get british citizenship this when you dont go out at all in the UK. ti get permanent residency you need 5 years. Canada & Australia. The moment you pass the point base system in immigration the moment you land on their soil you got your PR. Uk ,canada and aus basically have the same benifits for citizens and pr. I dont know what makes uk special why they have this long useless journey of pr and citizenship since you pass the point base immigration system
I don’t know what you are referring to but it is a 6 year process for the UK on a skilled visa. Each country has its own route you can’t compare. With this logic the same can said about the Us where people need to wait for 10 years or more
@@TheNimbleNomad 6 years? That is if you dont go out at all on the UK for the next 6 years. Then you are eligible for both ilr and citizenship. You have to be clear with your vlog. To be eligible for ILR .you to have a minimum OF 5 YEARS STAY IN THE UK excluding the time that you spend outside the uk. So in 5 years if you decide to go for a vacation outside the country for a month every year. Then you need to stay another 5 months to complete your 5 years. 2nd once you apply for ILR you wont get the result the next day!!! Lol! So you need to wait for the approval again for a couple months then. You can apply for citizenship after 1 year. So a realistic time is 7.5 - 8 years! I never mentioned USA on my mesg. What i said is CANADA and AUS. Im just wondering what so special about UK.
I think you don’t have clarity on the process. I suggest you spend some time reading about the ILR process on the government website before making such baseless comments. If you watched my video you would see how much travel I have incurred. Good luck living in lala land! EDIT: I have done a specific video on the ILR process, suggest you go watch that before commenting on the clarity of my blog.
I think you need to learn how to comment on other people’s channel and hard work as well. Rather than making such a berating comment. If you think you can do a better job on making videos you may want to start your own channel.

I’m sorry but I don’t have any experience with the nursing field. I think there are a few other channels on youtube that talk about this though. All the best!
@@TheNimbleNomad bro i know but if you make a content it will be great because i love the way you conveying the message or lecture ..
Good info Arjun.
Thank you Ela
love you man . It helps, Thank you so much for this video
Thanks for your comment and watching
Which IELTS should we take for Tier 2 skilled worker visa? IELTS ukvi general or IELTS ukvi academic?
Can you please advise whether we can switch jobs while coming to UK in 2021.
Thanks for your videos.I am from Africa ,residing in Africa and looking for remote jobs in IT (Business Intelligence /Data Engineering/Database Developer) for companies in UK.I have a degree in Telecoms & IT Engineering and an Executive MBA. Is this sort of job arrangment possible and if possible ,where can i get more details on how to apply. Some of us are avoiding migrating migrating from our home countries.
Thank you so much for the info.... Can you please let me know how to get a sponsor???
You will need to find a job on the market where a company/business is willing to sponsor you.
Hi Arjun,
in the new rules,
1. do employer need to provide the certificate of sponsorship or providing a job offer letter to Employee is enough?
2. Do we need IELTS or NARIC certificate based on our Academics is enough?
Please can you provide the answers for above queries
Point 1 - I have covered in my video. There is no CoS anymore.
Point 2 - I don’t understand why you need either, as long as you can submit proof that your degree was taught in English you shouldn’t need NARIC / IELTS. Rules may have changed but this is usually for ILR and Citizenship not for new tier 2 visas as far as I am aware.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks for reply
For point 1 just job offer letter enough from employer then I can apply for visa
I have gone through RUclips videos there mentioning cos and in gov uk website also mentioned certificate of sponsorship required
I got confused
You only need to supply what is requested in the application checklist. When you fill out the form and submit it it will present you with the application checklist which you can use to provide documents. Have you done that and is that asking for a CoS?
Hi Arjun, I hope you have great day.I have quick question on Tier 2-ICT currently I am holding it but due to pandemic I have return to my home country. May i know the process to go back and settle in UK with current valid tIer 2 - ICT visa. Need your suggestion.
You need to get sponsored by your company in order to return. Or if your visa is valid you need them to transfer you to the UK. Based on what you’ve provided it’s difficult to confirm why anything would change
Do we need English proficiency certificate before applying for a job in UK ???
شكرا جزيلا that's mean Thank you very much
Thanks Arjun for sharing the very good explanation for the visa changes.
One question, i am on Tier 2 ICT visa for 5.5 yrs and living continuously UK since 2015. Can i extend for few more years in ICT?
Yes I believe you should be able to extend your visa provided you meet the salary cap requirements and the cooling off period I have mentioned in the video
Sorry I have just re read your comment - you say you’ve lived continuously in the UK. I think under the new rules that are coming into play you may need to check what the salary cap is. Previously if you earned more than £120k you could extend, but I think this has now changed/reduced. I recommend maybe checkin with your companies immigration team about the new rule and whether you can qualify based on your salary.
If you are below the salary cap which I think is now £73k (please check) you may not be able to extend
@@TheNimbleNomad Thanks a lot for explanation. Regarding the ICT extension, i was thinking the same as i continuously living for more than 5 yrs. if so then i will need to change the job that means i will need to look for the sponsor so that i can convert to PBS Skilled worker visa (Old Tier 2 General). Am i right?
Yes - either you meet the salary cap requirements to stay on the ICT visa and extend or change your visa, however you will need to check whether you can do this for a general visa as you have stayed continuously in the UK for 5 years.
All of this is under the assumption you want to continue to stay in the UK.
Dear sir
I have a doubt for general tier 2 visa I scored 5 band for ukvi Ielts but for reading i got only 3.5 band can I apply
My passport stamped UK tier2 visa on December 16th 2020. I am planning to travel on February 15th 2021. Is there any policy i need to travel particular time? What are the documents i need to carry while i travel? Please advice me.
As long as you have a valid visa (visa has not expired) and leave to remain to enter the UK there is no policy about traveling within a certain duration as far as I am aware.
hi buddy, Thanks for your information. For me ICT visa processing from Capgemini. I have 10 years of experience working as a senior consultant. Any ide how much salary they can offer me and how much minimum I can save. I am single.
Hi , I am right now on a Tier 2 General visa till 2022 does these changes affect my present status and my extension in the future if I am with the same employer?
No they do not
Hi Arjun, can you please guide me what will be threshold salary for tier 2 general visa holder in IT filed to apply for ILR in Jan 2021. Thanks
Hi - the minimum salary levels as far as I am aware have been abolished for ILR for those on tier 2 general visa in 2021.
Thanks got the reply
Hi , I am on Tier2 visa which will end in July 2021 but my company will not extend me after that and will not provide ICT CoS, so should I look for another job here who can provide me ICT CoS and till when? Also how I can search new job, I am tech Engineer.
Sorry are you on a Tier 2 ICT visa or Tier 2 general visa?
If your company is unwilling to extend your visa then I am afraid you will have to either return back to your country or look to switch jobs (provided you are on a General visa).
If you are on an ICT visa I think you need to switch to General which requires you to find a new job.
@@TheNimbleNomad yeah mine is tier2 ICT Visa so I have to switch by July to new job right
Well you need to check whether you can switch whilst in the country. If you are switching from ICT to general you most likely need to go back to your home country.
As far as I am aware, they will not allow you to switch to tier 2 general whilst on an ICT whilst staying in UK. However the rules have changed, so you may need to check/speak to an immigration advisor
@@TheNimbleNomad okay but I do need a job/sponser who can provide me general visa right
All tier 2 general and ICT visas need a sponsors
Is ACCA education can apply for immigration visa ?
Perfectly explained! 👍

I'm a freshly graduated dentist from India and I'm trying to get into UK by trying to get into a dental hygienist job by getting Tier 2 Sponsorship visa from an employer there!
I've heard that sponsorship visa is very hard to get in the current and past scenarios especially for dental jobs, so hopefully the new Brexit system and immigration rules from January will make it more possible for me to get into UK right?
All the best - thank you for watching and subscribing!
@@TheNimbleNomad Can you look at my second para?
@@TheNimbleNomad The new rules makes it easy to get sponsorship visa right?
The rules have not yet come into play - they start from 2021, but in essence it should be easier. Atleast that is my interpretation, but it depends on each field of work individually.
Can a non UK Citizen with skilled worker visa in decide to go to canada to give birth to her baby and return to the uk with her baby after delivery?
Hi Guys, did anybody changed their visa from ICT tier 2 to Point Based System visa recently? I have some doubts to ask.
Much needed information, Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Can I change company when switiching to ICT to skilled visa assuming that salary is 74k?
As long as the company is willing sponsor your visa (tier 2) you should be able to switch. I am assuming you are referring to tier 2 general when you say “skilled visa”
Hello Sir,
Let say I am on ICT visa for 3 years and switch to PBS for next 2 years,can I apply for ILR or I need to spend 5 years on PBS visa for ILR
please clarify..🙂
Yes you need to be on the tier 2 general for 5 years - to qualify for PBS ILR.
What if my ICT visa is not expired and I want to switch to a different company in UK. how can I transfer the current visa to new Visa for new company?? Could you please explain..
Under an ICT visa you cannot transfer between companies. You will need to switch to a general visa.
I’ve done a more detailed video on the differences between ICT and general visas - link in description
Sir.. if anybody applying from outside uk, can get uk work visa if offered 15,000 pounds to 18,000 pounds?
Hello sir , I have a question please answer or make a video for the same ..
Now the question is while applying for jobs in UK & filling up the JOB application form they ask you one question are you legally authorized to work in UK ??
As we all know we cannot apply for work permit until and unless we have a valid job offer from the Employer & sponsorship certificate from a licensed sponsor we can't apply for work permit .
So while filling up the job application form what to answer when they are asking you "are you legally authorized to work in UK" ??
If you don't have work permit or authorization , you have to say No while applying in their job site & Employers are straight away rejecting your applications ,
So can you please guide me for this matter . Thanks
You need to say you don’t have legal right to work.
This means you are applying for jobs that don’t sponsor a visa
@@TheNimbleNomad thank you for your response, but without visa or work permit how can you apply for job in UK ?
You’ll need to find a company that is willing to sponsor you; have you watched my other video? If not I suggest you do.
£50,000 pound business close ?
If no.
Can I do any business and extend my visa ?
very informative.
Thank you
Hi Arjun, I got ICT for 5 years but returned after 1.8 years. Still valid till Apr 2022. 2 question - one if can I travel to UK same visa but different company? Two if I can apply for ILR from outside UK?
1. You cannot use an ICT visa assigned to one company for another company. It’s in the title - Intra Company Transfer visa. The company will have likely reported to the Home office that you left the country as they are legally required to do so.
2. You cannot apply for an ILR on an ICT visa. I have done a video comparing ICT vs General visa you can watch that.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks.
What's the outcome of last slide at 18:58 ....doesn't that imply ILR for people on ICT?
If I come back to UK in 2021, can. I then apply?
No. I have not mentioned that at all in my video. As I said earlier you cannot apply for an ILR on an ICT visa.
You are only eligible for ILR if you have completed 5 year residency in UK on a General visa. Please watch my comparison video it will clarify all your queries as I think you are confused about the two types of visas
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks a lot
I am having better linkedin..how can i apply and find sopnsorship jobs???
Sites, page?
Look on LinkedIn, indeed and other job sites
Do u know how can i get a pr invitation to uk ?
How can I apply online on UK immigration website what are the steps and required documents..??
Depending on the visa you want to apply for - the information should be available on the UK gov website.
The documents that are required for the visa are stated at the end of the application and once you have paid the necessary fees.
@@TheNimbleNomad thanks so much for your fast response, it's about VAF2 work permit visa...actually i got job offer letter from an employer in UK (still confused if it's true or scammer ). Employer asked me to check with the immigration visa section..do I need to apply online through the website or I've sent them the documents via mail.. they ask me to do a lot of things... and to pay £ 375 as visa processing fees..I need your assistance please
I have already subscribed to your channel. and I may consider opening an investment account later but I need to first sort out my immigration challenges first. Please can I contact you.
I’m sorry but I cannot provide advice on immigration as I am not a qualified advisor. Thank you for subscribing and watching my content, I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing this useful video. Could you please share some additional info like How to apply Tier2 General from Tier2 ICT visa? Can we apply online directly with existing COS or do we need to find a new sponsor again to convert it to Tier 2 General?
Thanks - I’ve done a comparison video before the new rules were announced on my channel.
For a tier 2 general you need a sponsor so you either need to ask your existing sponsor or find a new one as far as I am aware. keep in mind I’m not an immigration advisor, so you will need to do your own research.
How many hours can work a tier 2 depends visa holder in UK a week
Sorry I don’t understand - but it will be the contracted hours agreed with your sponsor for the visa
do u know this covid 19 situation indifinite leave application home office fee how much money?
I think it is about £2400, the information should be available on the gov website. Only difference is no option for fast track application which is usually £800
fast truck just £800 application fee?
Fast track is not available at the moment.
thank u. can u know this situation time application home office fee is free?
I don’t understand your question, but if you are asking of the fee has been exempted then no. The government wants to suck every last £ from you even during Covid

Sir my brother is UK citizen and he has got licence tier 2 can I benefit from it in any case
Please help me
I don’t understand your question - I am sorry.
@@TheNimbleNomad Thanks a ton for replying,
Am living in Abu Dhabi and am an Indian, my brother is in UK and he holds UK passport, he has recently got tier 2 sponsor licence, so how can i benefit from it in terms of immigration and settling in UK as in what are the scopes for me.
I hope am clear sir, your inputs will be highly appreciated. Looking forward to ur reply Sir.
@@junaidullah4762
You can get tier 2 general visa and work on you can benifit.
@@junaidullah4762
Hi,
Any possibility that your brother can sponsor visa,
I am from India.
Are those changes gonna happen for sure?
Yes.
@the nimble nomad, I would like to connect with you on email. Thank you.
I in u k sir
It will take you almost 8 years to get british citizenship this when you dont go out at all in the UK. ti get permanent residency you need 5 years.
Canada & Australia. The moment you pass the point base system in immigration the moment you land on their soil you got your PR. Uk ,canada and aus basically have the same benifits for citizens and pr. I dont know what makes uk special why they have this long useless journey of pr and citizenship since you pass the point base immigration system
I don’t know what you are referring to but it is a 6 year process for the UK on a skilled visa.
Each country has its own route you can’t compare. With this logic the same can said about the Us where people need to wait for 10 years or more
@@TheNimbleNomad 6 years? That is if you dont go out at all on the UK for the next 6 years. Then you are eligible for both ilr and citizenship. You have to be clear with your vlog. To be eligible for ILR .you to have a minimum OF 5 YEARS STAY IN THE UK excluding the time that you spend outside the uk. So in 5 years if you decide to go for a vacation outside the country for a month every year. Then you need to stay another 5 months to complete your 5 years. 2nd once you apply for ILR you wont get the result the next day!!! Lol! So you need to wait for the approval again for a couple months then. You can apply for citizenship after 1 year. So a realistic time is 7.5 - 8 years!
I never mentioned USA on my mesg. What i said is CANADA and AUS. Im just wondering what so special about UK.
I think you don’t have clarity on the process. I suggest you spend some time reading about the ILR process on the government website before making such baseless comments. If you watched my video you would see how much travel I have incurred.
Good luck living in lala land!
EDIT: I have done a specific video on the ILR process, suggest you go watch that before commenting on the clarity of my blog.
@@TheNimbleNomad lolll you’re so sassy , “lala land “ you are right though I takes a minimum of 6 years to become citizen if you’re on tier 2 visa .
Learn how to make a short and detailed video . Secondly , avoid repeating sentences again and again .
I think you need to learn how to comment on other people’s channel and hard work as well. Rather than making such a berating comment.
If you think you can do a better job on making videos you may want to start your own channel.
Thank you very much
You are welcome - thank you for watching!
