Do they have a license? If not, it will take a minimum of 6 months.

You can stay. Just don't be naughty when the cat's away

New Zealand. I still have 6 months before my visa expires but my company is only applying for a new license this week. I might book flights when there's 3 months left, just in case :( You've got plenty of time mate! Just make sure that your company has the correct documents, all properly certified....

What do you do in this case? Do you have a flight booked home? Last minute flights for me would cost me over £5000 for me and the missus.

Longer story: I initially arrived in the UK in August 2008 under a Tier 2 general visa. The company that sponsored me wen...

Hi. I'm a kiwi currently living in the UK. I need to travel to Iran every now and then for business (Iranian National Bank is a business partner with us). Now, I can travel to the US without a visa, but I'm wondering will my Iran visits ever have any effect on my entry into the US?

Thanks.

Also, whats the deal with leaving the UK to change certain visas? Do I need to return home or can I jump over to France and apply for a visa from there?

You are the dependent since your visa depend on your husbands visa.

Yes, you can work and study on a dependent visa.

Thanks for your reply.

My wife is a work-permit dependent, so she is allowed to study for now (until the company shuts down).

Hi. I'm a kiwi who's been in the UK since August 2008. I was sponsored by my company and wife came with me as a dependent. However, the company I work for has signs of going into administration (we haven't been paid for 2.5 months now!). What are my options? My wife is doing her Masters - she has an...
