Move from Tier 5 Youth Mobility to Tier 2 General

Now that Tier 1 General has been cancelled many professional Accountants from Australia and New Zealand are finding Tier 2 General the only way to remain in the UK long term.

Tier 2 General is an employer sponsored visa with an initial approval term of 3 years, however the visa may be extended for a further 2 years. It is not possible to ‘switch’ in country from Tier 5 to Tier 2 therefore a fresh application must be submitted back home however approval times are short (1-2 weeks in total) so you could be back before you know it.

If you are an experienced accountant capable of working on contracts of at least £250 per day our partners may be prepared to sponsor you under Tier 2 General where required.

Switch from Tier 1 Post Study Work to Tier 2 General

If you hold a Tier 1 PSW visa you need to think about switching to Tier 2 General as soon as possible. Historically many Tier 1 PSW visa holders have gone on to secure Tier 1 General visas however this option is no longer available (Tier 1 General was scrapped in 2011). The only option now is to move to a Tier 2 General visa with a UKBA licensed employer.

This process is not straightforward and only a handful of organisations will be willing to offer sponsorship therefore it is very important to address the problem as early as possible.

If you are working as a professional accountant and you are keen to move from your existing Tier 1 Post Study Work visa to Tier 2 General we may be able to help you so long as we have worked with you for a minimum of 6 months.
